Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Three Trees is a brand specializing in organic, plant-based milk alternatives, known for their high-quality ingredients and clean formulations.
Three Trees isn’t on Pacific Market’s shelf yet in any of its 2 stores. The opening: 3 categories where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.

Pacific Market stocks soy milk 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 soy milk: Pacific Market stocks only 6 there, so Three Trees Vanilla Soy Milk, 42g Protein per Bottle, Unsweetened stands out rather than blending in.

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