Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Sun-Maid is a well-established brand known for its dried fruits and bread products, particularly its iconic California Sun-Dried Raisins and Cinnamon Swirl Raisin Bread.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 7 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen.
