Reading the shelf…
Berkeley Bowl is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 4 SKUs across 4 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 6 new doors to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Gluten Free Frozen Millet Chia Bread in Other Breads.
Berkeley Bowl stocks other breads 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.
Berkeley Bowl carries granola in real depth, 144 SKUs against a fleet median of 41, so a new entry there is the Nth option, and its per-unit price would likely sit near the top of a crowded shelf.
Berkeley Bowl merchandises 11 of the 12 categories the brand sells.

Every category Udi's plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Berkeley Bowl. 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 1 of 3 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
Where it would price in other breads. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per oz (hover for which). Udi's (orange) sits above the shelf.
Udi's’ SKUs Berkeley Bowl doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Berkeley Bowl’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. Berkeley Bowl profile →
