Garvey Wholesale Beverage

Garvey Wholesale Beverage is a family owned company, which has been in business for over 40 years. Our founder Fred Capriccio first opened its doors in 1967 on Garvey Avenue, in the city of Rosemead, California. Since then the company has expanded to become the premier Cash and Carry in California. The company moved to its current location on San Gabriel Blvd in 1997 to further service the expanding Southern California market place. Fred’s son, Phillip Capriccio now manages the day-to-day operations of the company.

Garvey Wholesale Beverage is a Cash and Carry operation. The selling price of all goods is at the front line wholesale price. Garvey Wholesale Beverage does not employ any outside sales people nor do we sell to the public. All sales are strictly on a Cash and Carry basis. Garvey Wholesale Beverage is a liquor wholesaler with an 18-type license, the same type of license that distributors like Southern Wine and Spirits and Young’s Market have. In addition, Garvey Wholesale Beverage services its Beer and Wine clients with a 17-type Beer and Wine wholesale license, the same as distributors such as ACE, Haralambos and Gallo Wine Company use.

Garvey Wholesale Beverage works hand in hand with beer, wine, and liquor distributors to ensure that specific products are on display year round, especially during the holiday season. Garvey has expanded its product line to better service the marketplace by adding soft drinks, juices, back bar items, and janitorial goods. Business is conducted seven days a week, so that our customers needs can always be met. The evolution of the Southern California broad market requires us to employ a number of multilingual employees. The laws governing all other major distributors also apply to us. We are required to post all of our prices with Alcoholic Beverage Control, regarding the sales of beer, wine, and liquor in the State of California. In addition to this, all retail customer locations and licenses are verified with ABC before we sell any alcoholic beverages to them.

At Garvey Wholesale Beverage our job doesn’t just end with a simple sale. We see ourselves as part of the educational process for new items and line extensions to the local retailers. Our customers don’t see a sales representative from the distributor on a normal basis, and have difficulty meeting the “minimums” for delivery. Therefore, with our help these customers will be presented many of the new items we constantly see in our industry. We feel that providing this extra service has helped solidify long-term customer and distributor relations and loyalty. It is this long-term commitment to the industry and to our customers, which has helped us grow to the company we are today.
