Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Tostitos is a well-known American brand that specializes in tortilla chips and dips, such as salsa and queso.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 8 SKUs across 4 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 3 categories to widen, replicated across all 2 stores.

The more differentiated opening is shelf stable queso dip: Pacific Market stocks only 3 there, so Tostitos Salsa Con Queso, Medium stands out rather than blending in.
