Being headquartered in Bethesda has been a strategic decision for us. The proximity to the nation's capital allows us to stay connected to the industry and keep a pulse on the latest trends and developments in the alcoholic beverage market. It also provides us with access to a diverse customer base, including both local residents and tourists visiting the area.
Our headquarters is not just an office building; it serves as the nerve center of our operations. It houses our corporate offices, where our teams work on various functions such as marketing, merchandising, supply chain management, and finance. It is also home to our training center, where our staff receives extensive product knowledge and customer service training.
One of the things I love about our headquarters is the sense of camaraderie and passion for the industry that permeates the entire building. Walking through the halls, you can feel the energy and excitement of our employees, many of whom are avid wine and beer enthusiasts themselves. We have a diverse team of experts, including sommeliers, cicerones (certified beer experts), and knowledgeable sales associates who are always eager to share their expertise with customers.
In addition to our headquarters in Bethesda, we also have regional offices and distribution centers strategically located across the country. This allows us to efficiently manage our operations and ensure timely delivery of products to our stores. Our distribution centers are state-of-the-art facilities equipped with advanced technology and systems to handle the vast volume of products we carry.
Our headquarters in Bethesda serves as the hub of our operations and reflects our commitment to providing the best selection, service, and value to our customers. It is a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, and we are proud to call it home.
