Zen at Fairfax Market
Fairfax Market is a independent grocer running 1 Bay Area store.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 1 SKU across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen.
Lead with Pudding, Plant Based Chocolate, Oat Milk in Pudding Snacks.
Fairfax Market stocks pudding snacks thinly, so a differentiated snack stands out instead of becoming the Nth option on a crowded shelf. It already earns space at 3 other Bay Area grocers.
The more differentiated opening is pudding snacks: Fairfax Market stocks only 9 there, so Zen Pudding, Plant Based Chocolate, Oat Milk stands out rather than blending in.
Fairfax Market merchandises 1 of the 2 categories the brand sells.

The full runway
Every category Zen plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Fairfax 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 1 of 3 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
How it prices

Already on the shelf
Presence and depth are measured from Fairfax 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. Fairfax Market profile →
