Wellness at Driver's Market
Driver's Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
Wellness: The term 'Wellness' encompasses various brands focused on health and sustainability.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 2 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 3 new doors to enter.
Lead with Food for Cats, Chicken & Herring Formula in Wet Cat Food.
Driver's Market stocks wet cat food thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 6 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is wet cat food: Driver's Market stocks only 9 there, so Wellness Food for Cats, Chicken & Herring Formula stands out rather than blending in.
Driver's Market merchandises 5 of the 5 categories the brand sells.

The full runway
Every category Wellness plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Driver's 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 2 of 31 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.

Presence and depth are measured from Driver's 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. Driver's Market profile →
