Reading the shelf…
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
Tate's Bake Shop is a renowned American bakery brand known for its thin, crispy cookies, especially the signature chocolate chip variety.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 15 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen.
Lead with Orange And Cream Cookies With White Chocolate Chips, Limited Edition 6.5 oz in Packaged Cookies.
United Markets stocks packaged cookies thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 4 other Bay Area grocers.
United Markets carries packaged cookies in real depth, 189 SKUs against a fleet median of 67, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
United Markets merchandises 2 of the 3 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 65/100.
the categories it plays in are already deep here.
Every category Tate's plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at United Markets. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
On shelf here, but only 14 of 26 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Where it would price in packaged cookies. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per oz (hover for which). Tate's (orange) sits in line with the shelf.
Tate's’ SKUs United Markets doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
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 →
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
