Reading the shelf…
Woodlands is a specialty independent running 3 Bay Area stores, small-format at about 2,336 sq ft each, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Suzie's is a brand specializing in organic condiments and crackers, known for using clean, simple ingredients without preservatives or artificial additives.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 8 new doors to enter, replicated across all 3 stores.
Lead with Organic Saltine Crackers with Rosemary in Crackers.
Woodlands stocks crackers 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.
Woodlands merchandises 15 of the 15 categories the brand sells.

Every category Suzie's plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Woodlands. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
On shelf here, but only 1 of 2 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
Where it would price in crackers. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per oz (hover for which). Suzie's (orange) sits below the shelf.
Suzie's’ SKUs Woodlands doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Woodlands’ 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. Woodlands profile →
