Reading the shelf…
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 3 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen.
Lead with Amazin Prunes Value Pack in Dried Prunes.
Fairfax Market stocks dried prunes thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 4 other Bay Area grocers.
Fairfax Market carries vegetable juice in real depth, 19 SKUs against a fleet median of 9.5, 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 dried prunes: Fairfax Market stocks only 4 there, so Sunsweet Amazin Prunes Value Pack stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the dried prunes, and position the vegetable juice as a finishing or gift item.
Fairfax Market merchandises 3 of the 4 categories the brand sells.

enters a thin dried prunes shelf as a point of difference.
Every category Sunsweet plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Fairfax Market. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.

Presence and depth are measured from Fairfax 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. Fairfax Market profile →
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
