Reading the shelf…
Target is a discount independent running 6 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Terra Andes specializes in premium raw honey sourced from the pristine regions of Chilean Patagonia.
Terra isn’t on Target’s shelf yet in any of its 6 stores. The opening: 1 category where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Vegetable Chips, Real, Sweet Potato in Potato Chips.
Target stocks potato chips thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 2 other Bay Area grocers.
Target carries potato chips in real depth, 141 SKUs against a fleet median of 46.5, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
Target merchandises 2 of the 3 categories the brand sells.
non-gmo, vegan, vegetarian against the store's assortment lean.
brand excitement 45/100.
the categories it plays in are already deep here.
Every category Terra plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Target. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
Not here yet, but the shelf is real: a clean first door into a category the brand runs deep in.
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
Where it would price in potato chips. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per oz (hover for which). Terra (orange) sits well above the shelf.
Terra’s SKUs Target doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Target’s 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. Target profile →
