Midwest Can Market Overview

According to Grips Intelligence in-store data tracked from January 1 to July 31, 2026 across acehardware.com, menards.com, Amazon, and lowes.com, Midwest Can — a portfolio brand of private equity firm Argand Partners — generates the majority of its revenue through a single retail relationship. Ace Hardware alone accounts for 51.2% of year-to-date revenue, followed by Menards at 22.6%, Amazon at 17.2%, and Lowe's at 9.0%. The brand's average product price sits at $22.01 year to date, though pricing has climbed 17.1% over the May–July 2026 window to reach $24.42 in the most recent month. That pricing strength has not translated into top-line growth, with revenue down 4.1% month over month and 15.6% across the same three-month period. The combination of rising prices and falling revenue suggests unit volumes are contracting faster than average selling prices are expanding.
