Reading the shelf…
Target is a discount independent running 6 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
The Daily Crave is a snack brand specializing in a variety of chips and crunchy snacks made from wholesome ingredients.
The Daily Crave isn’t on Target’s shelf yet in any of its 6 stores. The opening: 3 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Original Cinnamon Beyond Churros in Other Snacks.
Target stocks other snacks thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 1 other Bay Area grocer.
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. The more differentiated opening is other snacks: Target stocks only 3 there, so The Daily Crave Original Cinnamon Beyond Churros stands out rather than blending in. Lead with the other snacks, and position the potato chips as a finishing or gift item.
Target merchandises 4 of the 4 categories the brand sells.

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 →

The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
