Tarazi at United Markets
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 2 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 1 new door to enter.
Lead with Falafel Mix in Falafel Mixes.
United Markets stocks falafel mixes thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 6 other Bay Area grocers.
United Markets carries bread crumbs in real depth, 15 SKUs against a fleet median of 6, 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 falafel mixes: United Markets stocks only 1 there, so Tarazi Falafel Mix stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the falafel mixes, and position the bread crumbs as a finishing or gift item.
United Markets merchandises 3 of the 3 categories the brand sells.

What to bring to expand

Already on the shelf
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 →
