Sonoma Gourmet at Fairfax Market
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Sonoma Gourmet is a food and beverage manufacturing company based in Sonoma, California, specializing in gourmet pasta sauces, olive oils, and salad dressings.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 11 new doors to enter.

The more differentiated opening is cheese crisps: Fairfax Market stocks only 1 there, so Sonoma Creamery Tomato Basil Pizza Crisps stands out rather than blending in.

The full runway
Every category Sonoma Gourmet plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Fairfax Market. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
On shelf here, but only 1 of 7 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.

Presence and depth are measured from Fairfax Market’s current Bay Area storefront: its online catalog plus our shelf photos, a partial view. A widely-distributed brand shown as a new door may already be carried through channels we don’t index. Fairfax Market profile →
