Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Unreal Brands is an American company that specializes in creating confectionery and snack products without artificial ingredients.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 6 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Dark Chocolate Caramel, Peanut Nougat Bars in Chocolate Candies.
Pacific Market stocks chocolate candies thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 10 other Bay Area grocers.
Pacific Market merchandises 1 of the 4 categories the brand sells.
non-gmo, organic, vegan against the store's assortment lean.
brand excitement 70/100.
maps onto categories the store already runs.
Every category Unreal plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Pacific Market. 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 6 of 19 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
Where it would price in chocolate candies. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per fl oz (hover for which). Unreal (orange) sits above the shelf.
Unreal’s SKUs Pacific Market doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Pacific Market’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. Pacific Market profile →
