Whedon

Whedon Market Overview

Whedon's in-store performance across Menards, Ace Hardware, and Lowe's during the first half of 2026 reveals significant challenges, according to data from Grips Intelligence covering January through June 2026 across online retail channels. Menards.com dominated channel revenue share with 55.3%, followed by Ace Hardware at 40.0%, while Lowe's represented just 4.7%, indicating heavy retail concentration. The brand experienced a concerning 13.2% overall revenue decline since the start of the year, with a notable 6.8% drop in the most recent month tracked, suggesting weakening demand in the offline hardware space. Despite revenue headwinds, average product pricing remained relatively stable at $20.02, with only a marginal 0.3% increase year-to-date, indicating limited pricing power in a declining market. Top-performing SKUs across Ace Hardware, including premium products like the Champagne Massage showerhead at $64.99, demonstrate customer interest in higher-end offerings, yet overall momentum continues to deteriorate.
