Sunshine Nut Co. at Berkeley Bowl
Berkeley Bowl is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Sunshine Nut Co. isn’t on Berkeley Bowl’s shelf yet in any of its 2 stores. The opening: 1 category where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Cashews, Roasted, Whole, Premium, Sprinkling of Sea Salt in Cashews.
Berkeley Bowl stocks cashews 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.
The more differentiated opening is cashews: Berkeley Bowl stocks only 8 there, so Sunshine Nut Co. Cashews, Roasted, Whole, Premium, Sprinkling of Sea Salt stands out rather than blending in.
