Reading the shelf…
Mill Valley Market is a specialty independent running 1 Bay Area store, mid-size at about 8,590 sq ft each.
Zevia is a Los Angeles-based beverage brand known for producing zero-calorie, zero-sugar sodas, energy drinks, organic teas, and mixers.
It’s already on the shelf here, with 4 SKUs across 3 categories. The growth is depth and breadth: 2 categories to widen and 5 new doors to enter.
Lead with Energy Drink, Zero Sugar, Raspberry Lime in Energy Drinks.
Mill Valley Market stocks energy drinks 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.
