The Laughing Cow at Fairfax Market
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter.
Lead with Creamy Light Spreadable Cheese Wedges in Cheese Dips And Spreads.
Fairfax Market stocks cheese dips and spreads thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 8 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is cheese dips and spreads: Fairfax Market stocks only 9 there, so The Laughing Cow Creamy Light Spreadable Cheese Wedges stands out rather than blending in.
Fairfax Market merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
