Reading the shelf…
Target is a discount independent running 6 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 9 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen, replicated across all 6 stores.
Lead with Barbecue Sauce, Sweet Vidalia Onion in Barbecue Sauces.
Target stocks barbecue sauces thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 1 other Bay Area grocer.
Target merchandises 3 of the 3 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 40/100.

Every category Sweet Baby Ray's plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Target. 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 7 of 10 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Fully stocked here (1/1 SKUs).
Where it would price in barbecue sauces. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per oz (hover for which). Sweet Baby Ray's (orange) sits below the shelf.

Presence and depth are measured from Target’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. Target profile →
