Help using MySQL reformatting data

I have received data in an improper form, but I don't have the time and leverage to make them reformat it.

So, I am looking for ways to efficiently reformat it myself. I can do it manually, but it would take me unnaceptable amount of time.

Basically the data is a list of convenient stored with listed skus.

But instead of using a single column for product, they made each product its own column and put a "1" if the product was present. This was done because the same convenient store can have many skus.

You can imagine it simplified as:

State - city - convinient store - chocolate_sku - strawberry_sku - cookiescream_sku

I want to change it so that there is a single column for product and I will just add individual rows if a convient store has more than one sku.


State - city - convient store - product

My problem now is that reformatting is very time intensive and I am not sure how to do it fast. I can do it manually in excel but it's a huge waste of time.
