Taste Of The Wild at Berkeley Bowl
Berkeley Bowl is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Taste Of The Wild isn’t on Berkeley Bowl’s shelf yet in any of its 2 stores. The opening: 4 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with A Grain-free Diet Canyon River Feline Recipe With Trout & Smoked Salmon Cat Food in Dry Cat Food.
Berkeley Bowl stocks dry cat food 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.
Berkeley Bowl carries wet cat food in real depth, 77 SKUs against a fleet median of 21, 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 dry cat food: Berkeley Bowl stocks only 10 there, so Taste of the Wild A Grain-free Diet Canyon River Feline Recipe With Trout & Smoked Salmon Cat Food stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the dry cat food, and position the wet cat food as a finishing or gift item.
