Beer Wholesale Companies Consolidate to Form O’Connor Distributing

1 min read

Three Lakes Distributing LLC Inc., Three Rivers Distributing LLC Inc., and White River Beverage LLC Inc. will begin operating as one company, O’Connor Distributing, effective immediately, the beer wholesaler announced Monday.

“The consolidation of these three companies has been a longstanding goal intended to provide greater clarity with our retailers and suppliers,” George R. O’Connor, president of O’Connor Distributing, said in a news release. “We have more than 75 of the greatest employees in our state and with this restructuring, we have the opportunity to recognize our key team members across the three divisions and company-wide. Without their hard work and dedication, we would not have been able to grow as quickly as we have over the last 20 years.”

O’Connor Distributing services 24 counties throughout the northeast and southeast portions of Arkansas, and O’Connor said that many of the suppliers already thought of the three as the “O’Connor Group.”

“Our suppliers and retailers and companies can now recognize that each of these companies is part of a larger organization,” O’Connor said.

The company distributes brands including Miller Lite, Coors Light, Corona, Steel Reserve, Smirnoff, Blue Moon, Coors Banquet, Mike’s Hard Lemonade, Samuel Adams, Angry Orchard, Shiner Bock, Guinness, Palm Breeze, Smith and Forge and Summit.

O’Connor said he would like to see continued growth in the company, but there are no plans for major additions. The company currently employs approximately 75 people.
