Unreal at Safeway
Safeway is a conventional independent running 13 Bay Area stores, large-format at about 37,374 sq ft each, indexing high on established names versus other Bay Area grocers.
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 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen, replicated across all 13 stores.
Lead with Dark Chocolate Peanut Butter Cups in Chocolate Candies.
Safeway 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 13 other Bay Area grocers.

The full runway · across 13 stores
Every category Unreal plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Safeway. 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 19 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
How it prices
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 well above the shelf.
What to bring to expand
Unreal’s SKUs Safeway doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Already on the shelf
Presence and depth are measured from Safeway’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. Safeway profile →
