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.
Tillamook is a farmer-owned cooperative known for its high-quality dairy products, including award-winning cheeses and ice creams.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 10 SKUs across 4 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 3 categories to widen and 11 new doors to enter, replicated across all 3 stores.
