Ames

Ames Market Overview

Grips Intelligence offline retail data tracked from January 1 to July 31, 2026 across homedepot.com, Amazon, acehardware.com, menards.com and lowes.com shows Ames, a brand owned by Griffon Corporation (NYSE: GFF), heavily concentrated at a single retailer, with Home Depot accounting for 67.8% of year-to-date revenue. Amazon is the clear number two at 18.5%, while Ace Hardware (6.4%), Menards (4.8%) and Lowe's (2.4%) together make up less than 14% of the mix. Pricing has moved sharply upward, with the average product price climbing 23.7% over the tracked period and rising 9.8% month over month to $40.53, against a brand-wide average of $37.23. That premiumization has come alongside softer sales, as revenue fell 8.2% versus the prior month and 11.7% over the measured stretch. The combination of rising prices and declining revenue suggests unit volumes are absorbing the bulk of the pressure, making retailer diversification beyond Home Depot a key watch item.
