Thai Kitchen at Community Market CA
Community Market CA is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Thai Kitchen is a brand dedicated to bringing authentic Thai flavors to the American market, offering a variety of products including curry pastes, sauces, noodles, and coconut milk.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 3 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 6 new doors to enter.
Lead with Gluten Free Green Curry Paste in Curry Paste.
Community Market CA stocks curry paste 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 curry paste: Community Market CA stocks only 1 there, so Thai Kitchen Gluten Free Green Curry Paste stands out rather than blending in.
Community Market CA merchandises 10 of the 11 categories the brand sells.

Presence and depth are measured from Community Market CA’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. Community Market CA profile →
