Reading the shelf…

Sweet Creek Foods isn’t on United Markets’ shelf yet. The opening: 8 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Organic Enchilada Green Sauce in Enchilada Sauces.
United Markets stocks enchilada sauces thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 3 other Bay Area grocers.

Presence and depth are measured from United Markets’ 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. United Markets profile →
