GRIPS CUSTOMERS & RESEARCH PARTNERS
According to in-store data from Grips Intelligence covering January 1 through September 30, 2026 across Menards, Lowe's, Amazon, and Ace Hardware, Plumb Pak — a brand of the privately held Oatey Co. — shows an unusually concentrated retail footprint. Menards accounts for roughly 90% of year-to-date revenue, leaving Lowe's at 5.2%, Amazon at 2.8%, and Ace Hardware at just 2.0%. The brand's average product price sits at $5.00, positioning it firmly in the low-ticket, high-volume segment of the category. Momentum has softened in recent months, with revenue down 7.0% over the tracked period and a 6.3% month-over-month decline in the latest reading. Pricing, meanwhile, has held essentially flat at a 0.0% change overall despite a modest 0.6% monthly uptick to $5.03, suggesting the revenue dip is volume-driven rather than a result of discounting.
