Reading the shelf…
Woodlands is a specialty independent running 3 Bay Area stores, small-format at about 2,336 sq ft each, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Truff is a brand that specializes in infusing the luxurious essence of black and white truffles into a variety of gourmet condiments and seasonings.
