Empty Shelves: where the menu says "sold out" most

In Mississippi, one in three dispensary menu listings is marked out of stock. In South Dakota, it's closer to one in seven.

Across US states with 50+ stores, 24.1% of menu listings show as out of stock and another 19.7% as running low.

Most out of stock

  • Mississippi: 33.9%
  • Vermont: 29.7%
  • Colorado: 27.5%
  • Ohio: 26.5%
  • California: 26.3%

Least out of stock

  • South Dakota: 14.7%
  • Montana: 15.8%
  • Maine: 17.1%
  • Washington, D.C.: 17.4%
  • Minnesota: 17.8%

Colorado is the surprise. It's one of the oldest markets in the country, and still more than a quarter of its listings say sold out. A mature market isn't automatically a well-stocked one.

The low end tells a different story. Montana and South Dakota sit near the bottom on out-of-stock but near the top on running low, at 26.4% and 32.9%. Their shelves aren't empty yet, they're thinning.

Which costs a store more: a long menu with gaps, or a short menu that's always full?
