Reading the shelf…
Sprouts Farmers Market is a natural independent running 1 Bay Area store, mid-size at about 20,322 sq ft each, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 7 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter.

Sprouts Farmers Market merchandises 3 of the 4 categories the brand sells.
