In California, Zips has experienced fluctuations within the Concentrates, Flower, Pre-Roll, and Vapor Pens categories. Notably, their Flower category saw a significant drop from a rank of 37 in February 2024 to 68 in April 2024, indicating a potential challenge in maintaining their market position amidst stiff competition. Conversely, in Michigan, Zips' Flower category demonstrated remarkable growth, improving from a rank of 56 in January 2024 to 26 by April 2024, showcasing a strong upward trajectory in market penetration and consumer preference.

However, the recovery in April could indicate effective strategic adjustments or market dynamics favoring Zips' offerings. Such insights into Zips' performance across different states and categories can provide valuable lessons on the dynamics of brand positioning and market adaptation in the rapidly evolving cannabis industry.
