Griffin Beverage

Griffin Beverage Company was started in 1967 when Bob Griffin Sr. and Nancy Griffin entered into a partnership running a West Branch distribution center and Traverse City bottling operation. The combined company produced and sold various soft drinks, from Crush, to Coca Cola. The company also distributed many different beer and wine brands in the West Branch area, including Anheuser-Busch and Stroh's brands. In the following years other companies were acquired and the partnership changed as did the market coverage area. Griffin Beverage Company earned a reputation for being a resilient well-managed company with a commitment to service, proving their mettle in 2000 by recovering from a devastating office and warehouse fire. With the help of all its employees, the local community and fellow distributors, the company was delivering product to customers in only two days! The Griffin Beverage Company continues to grow. Now, it is a complete beverage company with major beer brands to micro beers, soft drinks, mixers, wines, waters and even snacks. With the five locations of Griffin Beverage, it serves nearly half of Michigan.
