Wholesum at Sprouts Farmers Market
Sprouts Farmers Market is a natural independent running 1 Bay Area store, mid-size at about 20,322 sq ft each, indexing high on clean-organic versus other Bay Area grocers.
Wholesum is a brand specializing in organic produce, particularly known for its variety of tomatoes.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 8 SKUs across 6 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen.
Lead with Organic Grape Tomatoes in Grape Tomatoes.
Sprouts Farmers Market stocks grape tomatoes thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 1 other Bay Area grocer.
The more differentiated opening is grape tomatoes: Sprouts Farmers Market stocks only 2 there, so Wholesum Organic Grape Tomatoes stands out rather than blending in.
Sprouts Farmers Market merchandises 7 of the 11 categories the brand sells.

Presence and depth are measured from Sprouts Farmers 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. Sprouts Farmers Market profile →
