Vlasic at Target
Target is a discount independent running 6 Bay Area stores, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Vlasic is an American brand renowned for its wide variety of pickles, offering options for snacking, stacking, and savoring.
Vlasic isn’t on Target’s shelf yet in any of its 6 stores. The opening: 1 category where the shelf is already deep and the brand runs strong elsewhere.
Lead with Kosher Dill Baby Wholes Pickles, Keto Friendly in Pickles.
Target stocks pickles thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 7 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is pickles: Target stocks only 7 there, so Vlasic Kosher Dill Baby Wholes Pickles, Keto Friendly stands out rather than blending in.
Target merchandises 2 of the 2 categories the brand sells.

What to bring to land

Presence and depth are measured from Target’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. Target profile →
