Seattle, Washington - October 1, 2012 - John Klein, Executive
Vice President-General Manager of Southern Wine & Spirits of
America's seven Pacific Northwest markets-all divisions of
Southern Wine & Spirits of America, Inc. (Southern), the
country's leading wine and spirits distributor-announced
today that Southern Wine & Spirits of Washington (SWS-WA)
will be strengthening its industry-leading services to its
customers and supplier partners with the opening of two
Direct Warehouse Stores (DWS) in the coming weeks in Seattle
and Spokane.
Klein commented, "Southern's Direct Warehouse Stores will
enable our licensed retail customers to buy directly from
convenient SWS-WA wholesale stores in Seattle and
Spokane-providing a convenience for our trade customers,
offering them all of the discounts of DSD delivery and
avoiding broken-case fees that can be associated with smaller
orders. As the largest distributor in Washington, we
are committed to creating an opportunity for our local
customers to have access to our industry leading portfolio of
brands at their convenience. These stores will provide
the opportunity for our licensed customers to take
full-advantage of all trade discounts without having to worry
about any minimums or pre-arranged delivery schedules."
Southern's Executive Vice President-General Manager Brad
Vassar added, "The opening of two new DWS locations in
Washington reaffirms our strong commitment to this
newly-privatized market while providing great value and
convenience to our local trade customers. I am
confident that these stores in Washington will be well
received by our customers and achieve a level of success
similar to our other 21 DWS locations around the country,
including 13 in California-where we sold approximately 3.5
million bottles in 2011 to over 4,000 customers."
The 3,000 square-foot store in Seattle is located at 4143 1st
Avenue South and is scheduled to open on October 5th.
The 2,500 square-foot store in Spokane will be located at
16005 East Euclid Avenue and is scheduled to open at the end
of October. Upon their official opening, both locations
will operate from Tuesday to Friday from 9:00AM to5:00PM and
Saturdays from 9:00AM to 4:00PM.
