Bay Area grocers where neither the digital catalog nor our shelf photos show The Pasta Shop· but the shelf it belongs on is already there, ranked by fit. Fit blends category coverage, rival presence, price-band match, and openness to independents at this scale; weigh the footprint chips and route notes against it · a 7-door chain and a single great shop are different prizes. Our capture is partial, so a widely-distributed brand may already be carried through channels we don’t index.

route note: buying runs through a corporate program — typically a slower path than an independent grocer's buyer.
absence = seen in neither the grocer's digital catalog nor our shelf photos (90 days); assortments move. fit reads the shelf, not the buying office — see route notes.
