In the Beverage category, RIFF has maintained a strong presence in Saskatchewan with an impressive upward trend, climbing from the 6th rank in August 2023 to the 2nd rank in the following months. However, in Alberta, the brand has seen a slight decline in its ranking, dropping from 8th to 15th over the same period. RIFF's performance in the Flower category in Alberta has been less stellar, as it did not make the top 20 in the later months.

Competitive Landscape
In the Alberta Pre-Roll cannabis market, RIFF has experienced some fluctuation in rank over the period from August to November 2023. Initially ranking 29th in August, RIFF climbed to 26th in September, before falling to 37th in October and then slightly recovering to 35th in November. This indicates a downward trend in sales, as a lower rank corresponds to lower sales. Among its competitors, 1964 Supply Co has remained relatively stable, hovering around the 32nd rank, while Canaca has seen a similar decline to RIFF, falling from 30th to 38th over the same period. Saturday has shown a significant improvement, rising from 40th to 34th, and Sev7n has also improved, moving from 46th to 37th. These shifts suggest that RIFF may be losing ground to these rising competitors in the Alberta Pre-Roll market.
