Sonoma Gourmet at Pacific Market
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
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 3 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 3 categories to widen and 9 new doors to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Sonoma Ranches BBQ Sauce, Original in Barbecue Sauces.
Pacific Market stocks barbecue sauces thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 1 other Bay Area grocer.
Pacific Market carries olive oils in real depth, 63 SKUs against a fleet median of 31, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
Pacific Market merchandises 15 of the 16 categories the brand sells.

Presence and depth are measured from Pacific 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. Pacific Market profile →
