Reading the shelf…
Pacific Market is a specialty independent running 2 Bay Area stores.
Wholesome Sweeteners is a prominent provider of organic, Fair Trade Certified, and non-GMO sweeteners, including a variety of sugars, syrups, and honeys.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 7 SKUs across 6 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 5 categories to widen and 2 new doors to enter, replicated across all 2 stores.
Lead with Organic Raw Blue Agave in Agave Syrup.
Pacific Market stocks agave syrup thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 8 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is agave syrup: Pacific Market stocks only 2 there, so Wholesome Organic Raw Blue Agave stands out rather than blending in.
Pacific Market merchandises 9 of the 12 categories the brand sells.

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 →
