Chapter 1 of 14
Who Plantd is today
The question
Who is Plantd today, and what does it already have going for it?
The answer
A real Canadian shelf brand with no way yet to bring US shoppers to it.
Key number
160
retail doors, all in Canada
What we found swipe
- 14 of the 160 doors are Whole Foods Canada. The one name a US natural-grocery buyer will recognise.
- No Meta ads ever, no Amazon listing, no US store. About 1,190 Instagram followers and a YouTube channel with 19 subscribers.
- 134 reviews on its own site, 127 of them five stars. None below four stars, written over four years.
What it means for Plantd
The founders' Body Shop and Lush background and the Whole Foods Canada doors will get a meeting. Nothing yet makes a US shopper look for the jar, so demand has to come before shelf space.
The evidence
↑ 14 Whole Foods Canada doors: the name a US natural buyer already trusts. Whole Foods US buys by region, so it is a door-opener, not distribution.
