Reading the shelf…
Driver's Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Tony's Chocolonely is a Dutch chocolate company founded in 2005, known for its commitment to creating a slave-free chocolate industry.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter.
Lead with Dark Chocolate in Chocolate Candies.
Driver's Market stocks chocolate candies thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 12 other Bay Area grocers.
Driver's Market merchandises 2 of the 3 categories the brand sells.

Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.

Presence and depth are measured from Driver's Market’s 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. Driver's Market profile →
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
