Market Insights Snapshot
City Roots concentrated 52.00% of August 2026 sales in Pre-Roll, where year-over-year growth was 35.12% and month-over-month growth was 8.23%, while Flower held 43.45% share with a 74.17% year-over-year increase but a 7.85% month-over-month decline. Edible contributed 4.55% share with a 432.77% year-over-year surge yet slipped 7.65% month-over-month. The category split points to a portfolio leaning on two core inhalables that are diverging in momentum between months, implying that August 2026 growth was supported by Pre-Roll stability even as Flower retrenched within the month.
Average price edged up 0.77% year over year to $15.27 as mix tilted toward Pre-Roll with an average price of $12.70 and away from higher-priced Flower month over month, while August 2026 rank in California Pre-Roll sat at 26. With Pre-Roll up 8.23% month over month and Flower down 7.85% month over month, City Roots is positioned as a value-forward inhalables player whose near-term shelf traction depends on Pre-Roll depth, suggesting that sustaining share gains will require reinforcing Pre-Roll visibility while managing Flower volatility to prevent a drift from rank 26 in California.
Competitive Landscape
City Roots ranks #26 in CA Pre-Roll in August 2026, improving 3 positions year over year from #29 and rising 4 spots since May 2026 from #30 to #26; this also marks a new peak rank of #26 in August 2026 while holding outside the top 25. In contrast, Jeeter held at #1 year over year with sales up 5.7%, and Presidential moved up from #5 to #4 with an 8.9% YoY sales lift, while Sluggers Hit slipped from #4 to #5 with sales down 0.4%; relative to these shifts, City Roots’ climb from #29 to #26 narrows the gap to mid-tier incumbents but still trails the stable top two led by STIIIZY at #2 with a 10.4% YoY sales increase. The rank trajectory implies City Roots is converting incremental gains into share stability at the edge of the top 25, positioning the brand for potential threshold-crossing if monthly rank volatility among #20–#25 persists.

Outside Pre-Roll, the Flower entry Key Holder (7g) reached rank 9 on $48,250 with no MoM baseline, while the Edible CBN/THC 1:2 Sour Berry Zen Gummy (50mg CBN, 100mg THC) debuted at rank 8 with no MoM, suggesting City Roots is testing adjacent formats to stabilize revenue against Pre-Roll swings.
