Reading the shelf…
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Tasty Bite is a brand that specializes in ready-to-eat Indian and pan-Asian food products, founded in 1985 and headquartered in Pune, India, with operations in Stamford, Connecticut, USA.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 4 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 4 new doors to enter.
Lead with Organic Madras Lentils in Shelf Stable Prepared Meals.
Fairfax Market stocks shelf stable prepared meals thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 9 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is shelf stable prepared meals: Fairfax Market stocks only 7 there, so Tasty Bite Organic Madras Lentils stands out rather than blending in.
Fairfax Market merchandises 6 of the 6 categories the brand sells.
