Reading the shelf…
Whole Foods Market is a natural independent running 10 Bay Area stores, large-format at about 30,160 sq ft each, indexing high on established names versus other Bay Area grocers.
Straus Family Creamery is a pioneering certified organic dairy company based in Petaluma, California, established in 1994 as the first 100% certified organic creamery in the United States.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 3 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 2 new doors to enter, replicated across all 10 stores.
Whole Foods Market merchandises 8 of the 12 categories the brand sells.
grass-fed, non-gmo, organic against the store's assortment lean.

Every category Straus Family Creamery plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Whole Foods 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 1 of 21 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
Straus Family Creamery’s SKUs Whole Foods Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Whole Foods 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. Whole Foods Market profile →
