Zen 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.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 2 SKUs across 1 category. The growth is depth and breadth: 1 category to widen.

The more differentiated opening is pudding snacks: Sprouts Farmers Market stocks only 3 there, so Zen Pudding, Plant Based Chocolate, Oat Milk stands out rather than blending in.

The full runway
Every category Zen plays in across the Bay Area grocers we track, and where it stands at Sprouts Farmers 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 3 SKUs. Room to widen the line.
The store barely carries this category, so it is a hard sell.
What to bring to expand

Already on the shelf
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 →
