Midwest Can

Midwest Can Market Overview

Grips Intelligence in-store data tracked across Ace Hardware, Menards, Amazon and Lowe's from January 1 to August 31, 2026 shows Midwest Can — a portfolio brand of private equity firm Argand Partners since March 2020 — concentrating more than half of its year-to-date revenue at acehardware.com, at 52.7% share. Menards follows at 21.1%, with Amazon at 15.5% and lowes.com at 10.7%, leaving the brand heavily dependent on a single retail relationship. Momentum softened over the summer, with revenue falling 20.1% month over month in the most recent period and 22.9% across the June–August window. Pricing moved in the opposite direction, as average selling price climbed 6.0% month over month to $25.89 and rose 10.5% over the same three-month stretch, well above the $22.26 year-to-date average. That divergence between rising prices and falling revenue suggests unit volumes are contracting faster than the headline revenue decline implies.
