Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Truff is a brand that specializes in infusing the luxurious essence of black and white truffles into a variety of gourmet condiments and seasonings.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 7 SKUs across 5 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 4 categories to widen and 1 new door to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.

Pacific Market stocks truffle oil thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 1 other Bay Area grocer.
The more differentiated opening is truffle oil: Pacific Market stocks only 1 there, so TRUFF Truffle Oil, White Truffle Infused Olive Oil stands out rather than blending in.
