At the end of business today, Reyes Beverage Group (RBG) will have officially closed its acquisition of Republic National Distributing Company’s (RNDC) operations in Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Hawaii, Louisiana, Maryland, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Texas, Virginia and Washington, D.C.

This acquisition is RBG’s largest to-date, extending our footprint to 16 states, representing nearly 52% of the U.S. legal drinking age (LDA) consumer population within the states we operate, based on analysis of data from the U.S. Census Bureau, World Population Review, and The Global Statistics. These businesses will now operate as RBG Spirits and Wine, adding approximately 5,200 employees, over 135,000 new customers and roughly 38 million annual cases to its operations.

“We are thankful to RNDC for their collaboration throughout this process,” said Tom Day, Chief Executive Officer of RBG. “This milestone is the culmination of months of hard work and reflects our commitment to growth, expansion and investing in the future. It’s time to start a new chapter together – one that builds on RBG’s strengths, with the talent and expertise of our newest team members. We are excited about the tremendous opportunities ahead and committed to executing at the highest levels for our new, and existing, supplier and customer partners.”

“Our new employees serving these markets are fantastic additions to our team,” said Stephen Reyes, President of RBG East. “Their deep local knowledge and relationships, paired with RBG’s reputation for elite execution, position us to deliver strong results. We are proud to welcome them to the Reyes organization.”

“We are confident in our ability to win in these markets and will be hitting the ground running from day one, laying the foundation for long-term success for our employees, suppliers and retailers,” said Tom Reyes, President of RBG West.
