Reading the shelf…
Woodlands is a specialty independent running 3 Bay Area stores, small-format at about 2,336 sq ft each, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 6 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen, replicated across all 3 stores.
Lead with Grain Free Ahi Tuna Cat Food in Wet Cat Food.
Woodlands stocks wet cat food 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.
Woodlands carries wet cat food in real depth, 134 SKUs against a fleet median of 21, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
Woodlands merchandises 1 of the 1 category the brand sells.
non-gmo against the store's assortment lean.

the categories it plays in are already deep here.
Every category Tiki Cat plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Woodlands. Depth is the distinct SKUs the store carries there versus the fleet median, shown next to the rival brands already on that shelf.
On shelf here, but only 6 of 11 SKUs. Room to widen the line.

Tiki Cat’s SKUs Woodlands doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Woodlands’ 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. Woodlands profile →
