Starkist at Fairfax Market
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
StarKist is a well-known brand specializing in canned seafood and poultry products, particularly tuna, salmon, and chicken.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 7 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen.
Lead with Chunk Light Tuna in Water, Pouch in Canned Tuna.
Fairfax Market stocks canned tuna thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 5 other Bay Area grocers.
Fairfax Market merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.

The full runway
Every category Starkist 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 7 of 29 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.

Already on the shelf
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 →
