Tru Fru at Pacific Market
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Tru Fru is a brand specializing in frozen desserts and chocolate snacks, known for its innovative approach to combining real fruit with premium chocolate.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 3 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 2 new doors to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Freeze Dried Strawberries in Dark & White Chocolate in Chocolate Covered Dried Fruit.
Pacific Market stocks chocolate covered dried fruit thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 4 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is chocolate covered dried fruit: Pacific Market stocks only 3 there, so Tru Fru Freeze Dried Strawberries in Dark & White Chocolate stands out rather than blending in.
