Reading the shelf…
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Sparkling Ice® is a brand specializing in zero-sugar sparkling water beverages known for their bold flavors.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 14 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen.
Lead with Sparkling Water Variety Pack in Sparkling Water.
Fairfax Market stocks sparkling water thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 4 other Bay Area grocers.
Fairfax Market carries sparkling water in real depth, 109 SKUs against a fleet median of 46.5, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
Fairfax Market merchandises 1 of the 1 category the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 45/100.
the categories it plays in are already deep here.
Every category Sparkling Ice® 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 14 of 33 SKUs. Room to widen the line.

Sparkling Ice®’s SKUs Fairfax Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
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 →
