Quikrete Industry Dashboard

The latest version of the Quikrete Industry Dashboard features updates for monthly sales for NAICS 444 and 44413 from the U.S. Census Bureau. Bottom line: September sales for “building material and garden equipment and supplies dealers” (NAICS 444) were up in September compared to last year.

On an unadjusted basis, NAICS 444 sales were down in September compared to August.

Sales at hardware stores, the NAICS 44413 subset, were also up over last year, and down from the prior month. The latest stats from the Census Bureau for hardware stores, however, are for the month of August.  

Elsewhere on the Quikrete Industry Dashboard, the national average price for a gallon of gas is up 20 cents from one month ago. It now stands at $3.90, according to the American Automobile Association's tally.
