Char-Griller

Char-Griller Market Overview

According to Grips Intelligence in-store data tracked from January 1 to August 31, 2026 across Lowe's, Menards, Amazon, and Home Depot, Char-Griller — a brand of Composition Brands, in which Middleby (NASDAQ: MIDD) retained a 49% minority interest — has seen its revenue decline 43.8% over the measured period. Lowe's is the brand's dominant channel at 39.8% of year-to-date revenue, followed by Menards at 25.6%, Amazon at 22.7%, and Home Depot at 11.9%. The most recent month tracked showed revenue falling a further 23.4% versus the prior month, pointing to continued softening rather than a one-off dip. Average product price sits at $127.39, down 4.6% across the period and 2.8% month-over-month to $133.86 in the latest reading. Together, the simultaneous contraction in both revenue and realized pricing suggests promotional pressure rather than a mix shift, with Lowe's and Menards jointly accounting for roughly two-thirds of the brand's measured sales.
