Market Insights Snapshot
In the Maryland market, Kings & Queens has shown a consistent presence in the Concentrates category, with a slight improvement in their ranking from 24th in October 2025 to 22nd by January 2026. This upward trend is mirrored in their sales numbers, which saw a noticeable increase in December 2025. Their performance in the Flower category, however, has been more volatile, with rankings fluctuating significantly, indicating potential challenges in maintaining a stable position. Interestingly, their Pre-Roll category saw a substantial leap in November 2025, reaching 24th place, before settling slightly lower in the subsequent months. This suggests a successful campaign or product launch during that period, although sustaining that momentum appears to have been a challenge.
In New York, Kings & Queens entered the top 30 in the Flower category by December 2025, ranking 68th, and improved to 48th by January 2026. This is a noteworthy achievement considering their absence from the top 30 in the months prior, indicating a growing market presence and potential consumer interest. The significant increase in sales during this period supports this upward trajectory, suggesting that Kings & Queens could be capitalizing on market opportunities or expanding their distribution network. The lack of data for other categories in New York could imply that the brand is either not focusing on those segments or has yet to make a significant impact outside of Flower. This strategic focus could either present a risk of over-reliance on a single category or an opportunity for targeted growth.
Competitive Landscape
In the competitive landscape of the New York flower category, Kings & Queens has shown a notable upward trajectory in recent months. Despite not ranking in the top 20 from October to December 2025, the brand made a significant leap to 48th place by January 2026, indicating a strong recovery and potential growth in market presence. This rise is particularly impressive when compared to competitors like Flav, which has seen a decline from 37th to 52nd place over the same period. Meanwhile, Veterans Choice Creations (VCC) and Heady Tree have experienced fluctuations, with VCC improving its rank from 52nd to 45th, and Heady Tree dropping from 32nd to 47th. The sales growth for Kings & Queens, reaching $317,297 in January 2026, suggests a robust demand, positioning it as a brand to watch in the New York market, especially as it outpaces the sales recovery of brands like High Falls Canna New York, which remains relatively stable in its ranking.

The notable upward movement of Znackz and the strong entry of McRuntz highlight a shift in consumer preference towards these specific Flower products.
