Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Vita Coco is a brand specializing in coconut-based beverages and products.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 2 new doors to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Coconut Water, The Original in Coconut Water.
Pacific Market stocks coconut water 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 more differentiated opening is coconut water: Pacific Market stocks only 7 there, so Vita Coco Coconut Water, The Original stands out rather than blending in.
Pacific Market merchandises 3 of the 3 categories the brand sells.

On shelf here, but only 1 of 15 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.

Vita Coco’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 →
