Overview

Throughout this time, the company continued to grow. New product lines were added to become a complete beverage company with major beer brands to micro beers, soft drinks, mixers, wines, waters and even snacks. New warehouses were added, beginning with West Branch in 1978 and addition in 1982 and another addition in 1995. A new 50,000sq ft. warehouse was constructed in Saginaw in 1999. With the five locations within Griffin Beverage, we serve 27,273 of Michigan’s total 58,110 square miles.Year 2000 proved to be very challenging with the Corporate Location in West Branch suffering a major fire that destroyed the entire office and most of the warehouse. Despite this setback, and with the help of all employees, the local community, and fellow distributors, the company was delivering product to customers in only two days! A new 79,000 sq ft. addition was constructed in West Branch. This location has 9,000sq ft. of office space.
