Reading the shelf…
Community Market CA is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 3 SKUs across 2 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen and 1 new door to enter.
Lead with Bison Burger Jerky in Dog Treats.
Community Market CA stocks dog treats 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 dog treats: Community Market CA stocks only 6 there, so Winnie Lou Bison Burger Jerky stands out rather than blending in.
Community Market CA merchandises 3 of the 3 categories the brand sells.
no strong clean/diet signal either way.
brand excitement 65/100.
enters a thin dog treats shelf as a point of difference.
Every category Winnie Lou plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Community Market CA. 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 1 of 3 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
Already stocked here in other categories, so this one is a natural extension.
Where it would price in dog treats. Each dot is a product on the shelf, by its cost per oz (hover for which). Winnie Lou (orange) sits well above the shelf.
Winnie Lou’s SKUs Community Market CA doesn’t carry yet, ordered by how many other Bay Area grocers already stock them.
Presence and depth are measured from Community Market CA’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. Community Market CA profile →
