Market Insights Snapshot
In Alberta, Station House, a popular cannabis brand, has seen a decline in its Pre-Roll category ranking from 17th in September 2023 to 25th in November 2023.

Similarly, in Ontario, the brand's Flower category ranking has slipped from 48th in September 2023 to 57th in November 2023.

In Ontario, the brand has maintained a stable position in the Pre-Roll category, consistently ranking between 12th and 13th from August to November 2023.

Competitive Landscape
In the Ontario Pre-Roll category, Station House has maintained a steady presence, with ranks fluctuating slightly between 12th and 13th place from August to November 2023. This stability contrasts with some of its competitors.

On the other hand, Weed Me has seen a drop in rank from 11th to 14th, suggesting a decrease in competition. Carmel has remained consistent in the top 10, while BoxHot has experienced a slight decrease in rank. These shifts in the competitive landscape could have implications for Station House's future performance and strategy in the Ontario Pre-Roll market.
