Reading the shelf…
Target is a discount independent running 6 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
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 5 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 2 new doors to enter, replicated across all 6 stores.
Target merchandises 4 of the 6 categories the brand sells.
non-gmo against the store's assortment lean.
brand excitement 75/100.

Every category Tru Fru plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Target. 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 4 of 18 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.

Presence and depth are measured from Target’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. Target profile →
