Market Insights Snapshot
Original Stash has been performing quite interestingly across various categories and states. In the province of Alberta, the brand has maintained a consistent presence in the Flower category, ranking 7th in August 2023, a significant improvement from 54th in June 2023. However, in the Concentrates and Pre-Roll categories, their rankings have been outside the top 20, indicating room for growth. Similarly, in British Columbia, the brand has shown a strong presence in the Flower category, ranking 23rd in August 2023, but has struggled to break into the top 20 in the Concentrates category.
In Ontario, Original Stash has shown a steady performance in the Concentrates and Pre-Roll categories, maintaining rankings within the top 30 over the period. The Flower category, however, has seen some fluctuation, with rankings ranging from 33rd to 56th. It's worth noting that in Saskatchewan, the brand has struggled to maintain a strong presence. Their rankings in the Flower category have been particularly volatile, ranging from 42nd to 89th over the period. The absence of a ranking for the Pre-Roll category in September 2023 suggests that the brand was not in the top 20 for that month, indicating a potential area for improvement.
