Tcho at United Markets
United Markets is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, large-format at about 26,260 sq ft each.
TCHO is a craft chocolate maker based in Berkeley, California, known for its high-quality, plant-based chocolates.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 10 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 3 new doors to enter.
Lead with 60G Perfect Matcha in Chocolate Candies.
United Markets stocks chocolate candies 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.
United Markets merchandises 5 of the 6 categories the brand sells.

The full runway
Every category Tcho 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 10 of 24 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
How it prices
Where it would price in chocolate candies. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per fl oz (hover for which). Tcho (orange) sits well above the shelf.
What to bring to expand
Tcho’s SKUs United Markets doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
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 →
