Stouffer's at Target
Target is a discount independent running 6 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Stouffer's is a well-established brand known for its frozen prepared meals and entrées, offering a variety of home-style and international flavors.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 14 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 3 categories to widen and 4 new doors to enter, replicated across all 6 stores.
