Whalen Market Overview

Grips Intelligence in-store data tracked across menards.com, Office Depot, Newegg and homedepot.com from January 1 to September 30, 2026 shows Whalen, a privately held San Diego business founded in 1991, concentrating the overwhelming majority of its sales in a single retail relationship. Menards accounts for 84.6% of year-to-date revenue, with Office Depot a distant second at 11.7% and Newegg and Home Depot together contributing under 4%. Momentum in the July–September window was pronounced, with revenue up 147.8% month over month and 231.3% higher across the quarter.

That combination of rising volume and rising price points suggests a stronger mix at the top end, where Menards listings range as high as $639.91.
