Black Kow

Black Kow Market Overview

According to Grips Intelligence in-store data tracked from January 1 to September 30, 2026 across Lowe's, Ace Hardware and Menards, Black Kow — a privately held, family-run brand — generates the overwhelming majority of its revenue through a single retail partner, with lowes.com accounting for 79.3% of year-to-date sales. Ace Hardware follows at a distant 16.3%, while Menards contributes just 3.7%, underscoring a heavily concentrated distribution footprint. Pricing has remained remarkably stable, with an average product price of $6.63 year-to-date and a recent monthly reading of $6.98, up 1.4% over the period. Revenue, however, has trended downward, falling 8.1% month-over-month and 23.6% across the July-to-September window. The combination of modest price gains against a steeper revenue decline points to softening unit volumes rather than pricing pressure.
