Empire

Empire Market Overview

According to in-store data from Grips Intelligence, Empire generated its revenue across four major retailers between January and May 2026, with Home Depot commanding a dominant 52.7% revenue share, followed by Amazon at 38.2%. The brand's average product price stood at $34.14, though its average price trended upward by 4.6% over the tracked period, signaling a shift toward higher-priced SKUs or strategic price increases. Despite the rising prices, Empire experienced a 3.2% decline in overall revenue during the same timeframe, suggesting that higher price points may be tempering purchase volume. Ace Hardware and Lowe's captured a combined 9.1% of revenue share, indicating that Empire's distribution remains heavily concentrated in its top two retail channels. This pricing-versus-volume dynamic makes Empire a brand worth watching as it navigates its retail strategy in the months ahead.
