Empire Distributors

Today, Empire Distributors employs over 1,600 people across four states. They have four main alcoholic beverage distribution centers in all states they operate in, and they constantly upgrade their fleet and technology, so they are able to facilitate the work of their employees and offer better service to their customers. This is also a great way to enable the best advantage to all the brands they represent.

More Details On Empire Distributors, Inc

Empire Distributors was founded by Max Kahn in 1940. He started a small delivery business with only two trucks and one warehouse in Atlanta, Georgia. After the end of WWII, the company continued to grow and operate in Georgia. It was in 1984 when Empire Distributors spread its wings in North Carolina by purchasing several local distributors.

In 2010, Empire Distributors made an agreement with Berkshire Hathaway, effectively becoming a subsidiary. In the same year, the company expanded in Tennessee, and in 2014, it further expanded into Colorado. 

Through some smart acquisitions and careful expansion, the company has become among the leading wine and spirits distributors in Tennessee and Colorado. In 2019, they opened a state-of-the-art logistical facility to house the Georgia operations. This included a new corporate headquarters in Austell, Georgia.

Empire Distributors is a strong supporter of the foundation for advancing alcohol responsibility, meaning they support the social responsibility of consuming alcohol responsibly. The genuine relationships on which the company is founded are still strongly in place, as each part of the chain gets the same professional treatment and commitment. They are also very devoted to the future, as they believe that the exceptional services they provide are a ticket to ensuring continuous success.
