Grips Intelligence in-store data tracked Core Kitchen, a brand of the privately held New York housewares company Core Home, across Ace Hardware, Menards, and Lowe's from January 1 to September 30, 2026. Ace Hardware is the brand's clear anchor at 42.6% of year-to-date revenue, followed by Menards at 30.2% and Lowe's at 26.8%, a relatively balanced three-way split that limits single-retailer dependency. The average product price sits at $9.27, positioning the brand firmly in the value tier of its shelf space.

Average selling price also slipped 9.8% across the window despite a modest 2.0% monthly uptick to $8.73, suggesting promotional pressure or mix shift toward lower-priced items.
