Reading the shelf…
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
St. Dalfour is a French brand renowned for its 100% fruit spreads, which are made without refined sugar and artificial ingredients.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 12 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen.
Lead with Fruit Spread, Raspberry & Pomegranate in Fruit Spreads.
United Markets stocks fruit spreads 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 fruit spreads in real depth, 37 SKUs against a fleet median of 15, 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 3 of the 3 categories the brand sells.
non-gmo, vegan against the store's assortment lean.
brand excitement 50/100.
the categories it plays in are already deep here.
Every category St. Dalfour 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 11 of 19 SKUs. Room to widen the line.

St. Dalfour’s SKUs United Markets doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
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 →
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
