Reading the shelf…
Mill Valley Market is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, mid-size at about 8,590 sq ft each.
Sukhi's Indian is a brand specializing in authentic Indian prepared meals and frozen foods.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 10 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 4 new doors to enter.
