Ames

Ames Market Overview

Grips Intelligence in-store data for January 1 through August 31, 2026 tracks Ames, a brand owned by Griffon Corporation (NYSE: GFF), across five retailers: Home Depot, Amazon, Ace Hardware, Menards and Lowe's. Distribution is heavily concentrated, with homedepot.com accounting for 67.6% of year-to-date revenue and Amazon contributing another 18.8%, leaving Ace Hardware (6.1%), Menards (4.4%) and Lowe's (3.0%) to split the remainder. Average product price across the tracked period sits at $36.53, though the most recent month came in higher at $40.96, up 1.2% month over month and 11.1% over the summer window. Revenue, meanwhile, moved the other way, falling 8.8% versus the prior month and 16.0% across the June-to-August timeseries. That divergence between rising prices and softening revenue suggests unit volumes are under pressure, a dynamic worth watching given how much of the brand's sales depend on a single retail partner.
