The five new states are Iowa, Maine, New Hampshire, Pennsylvania and Vermont.
“I’m proud to lead the expansion into five additional Control States,” said Joe Gigliotti, Region President-Control States, Republic National Distributing Co. “We are standing up a new sales team in each of these states, and we plan to strategically increase our presence as we build the business. It’s a unique opportunity and one that will be a huge benefit to RNDC suppliers and customers.”
As RNDC expands into these states, the focus will be on spirits to start, adding wine as the business grows. RNDC expects to begin selling in these states beginning Q4 of 2021.
“This is a crucial strategic move to offer our suppliers broker access across all 17 Control States,” Gigliotti said. “We are offering a Control State solution, giving our suppliers a unique advantage.”
