Reading the shelf…
Falletti Foods is a conventional independent running 1 Bay Area store, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Sugar Plum Vegan is a brand specializing in handcrafted vegan baked goods and granolas, made without wheat or gluten.
Sugar Plum Vegan isn’t on Falletti Foods’ shelf yet. The opening: 12 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Assorted Cheesecake in Cheesecake.
Falletti Foods stocks cheesecake thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 2 other Bay Area grocers.
Falletti Foods carries other cookies in real depth, 25 SKUs against a fleet median of 11, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf. The more differentiated opening is cheesecake: Falletti Foods stocks only 3 there, so Sugar Plum Vegan Assorted Cheesecake stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the cheesecake, and position the other cookies as a finishing or gift item.
Falletti Foods merchandises 13 of the 14 categories the brand sells.

Presence and depth are measured from Falletti Foods’ 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. Falletti Foods profile →

The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
