The Lewis Bear

The Lewis Bear Company (LBC) was founded in Pensacola, Florida, in 1876 by Bavarian immigrant Lewis Bear. Generation by generation, LBC has evolved and adapted to changing markets and innovations, from our origins wholesaling everything from canned goods and fresh meats to appliances and pharmaceuticals. In 1995, the grocery company was sold and the immediate family bought out all other (54) stockholders. Today, The Lewis Bear Company has two warehouse facilities, employs a highly-skilled team of 250 professionals and handles distribution and merchandising for over 2,500 accounts. The Company remains dedicated to serving its customers and the community.
