Spindrift at United Markets
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
Spindrift is an American beverage company known for its sparkling water and flavored sodas made with real squeezed fruit.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 26 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 6 new doors to enter.
Lead with Sparkling Water in Sparkling Water.
United Markets 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.
United Markets carries sparkling water in real depth, 166 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.
United Markets merchandises 7 of the 7 categories the brand sells.

The full runway
Every category Spindrift plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at United Markets. 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 26 of 52 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 United Markets’ 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. United Markets profile →
