Thomas’ at Pacific Market
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Thomas’: Thomas' is a well-known brand under Bimbo Bakeries USA, specializing in baked goods, particularly English muffins and bagels.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 6 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 3 categories to widen and 1 new door to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Swirl Bread Cinnamon in Cinnamon Raisin Bread.
Pacific Market stocks cinnamon raisin bread thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 3 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is cinnamon raisin bread: Pacific Market stocks only 5 there, so Thomas’ Swirl Bread Cinnamon stands out rather than blending in.
Pacific Market merchandises 4 of the 5 categories the brand sells.
