Not only are they the ‘Third Tier’ in the alcoholic beverage Three-Tiered System, they are true partners in our shared long term success. Read on for insight from several of our retail partners.

The Colonial

Shari, General Manager

Wantz Distributors is one of the best partners that a retailer could have. Their organization has it all together from inventory planning and logistics support, sales and incentive collaboration, attentive brand management and a professional sales team that gets the job done. Planning and execution are a step above with Wantz Distributors. Their highly organized team provides customized plans and insights to drive growth within their footprint. The attention to detail is just next level. Wantz has even made helpful suggestions to our packaging. The very best wholesalers make us better suppliers and Wantz is one of the few.

Foster’s On The Point

Mike Foster, Owner

The team at Wantz has always been here for us since the day we opened our doors. Helping us set up our draft system and picking out a premium selection of domestic, craft, and local beers to enhance our customers’ experience. Not only have they helped us grow our business but they also patronize our business as well as many others that they service. Anytime we need anything, they are always there.

Gamber Liquors

Sara Flaugher, Beer Manager

Out of all my distributors, Wantz distributors are top notch. They take delivery and presentation seriously of all their products. Anytime I have an issue, and I reach out to them, not only do they get right back to me, they take action to resolve the issue. My delivery driver is great, communicates well and is super helpful. For that matter, all the drivers are very helpful. My sales rep is super nice, responsive, makes himself available to me and remedies all my issues and concerns. He always goes above and beyond. I want to call out the Territory Manager. He is super supportive and helpful in leading his team.

Frederick Wine House

Tim Lyons, Beer Manager and Christian Finamore, Spirits Manager

Wantz’ attention to detail, understanding and work ethic displayed by every member of their team, from their delivery drivers to their team leads, has made a lasting impression as a company and has played a large role in forming the positive relationship we hold with them as one of our distributors. Having had the opportunity to work with Brendan Palmer and the representatives of the East Team, I can safely say that the quality of work that Wantz delivers is above par in every way. Wantz, along with Brendan, Caden, and Ryan have been exemplary. With the rush to open a new store and get our doors open to customers, Wantz was the only local distributor to offer consistent support and information to help get our doors open ASAP. I have had nothing but positive interactions and have made friends amongst the Wantz staff.

Old Orchard Liquors

Jeffrey Nystrom – Sales Manager

Wantz Distributors is a well-run and fine-tuned operation. From their brand managers and sales team, that makes sure we have the most current and relevant knowledge to the products in their portfolio, to their marketing and advertising department, that provides displays, signage and in-store product tastings scheduled whenever we need them, to the warehouse and delivery drivers that make sure we get our deliveries correctly and on time come rain, snow, sunshine and heat, and finally the office staff who are there to answer to questions or concerns that we may have. Wantz Distributors is a true definition of a business that operates as a TEAM and they are a key component to helping us operate as a business and becoming one of the top and most successful stores in Hagerstown and Washington County.

The Upper Deck Sports Bar & Grill

Lenny & Jamie Sauro, Owners

Since 2016 when we purchased our sports bar in Mount Airy, Md, Wantz has been a major contributor to our success in such a tough business. Wantz is the ONLY distributor out of all of our alcohol and beer distributors that has kept business the same over the years. Since the pandemic it seems that most distributors have lost sight of the importance of the in-person support in stores but Wantz has stayed consistent and has a presence in our store on a weekly basis keeping us informed. Their support consist of advice on Hot products in the market to help us stay in front of the competition, collaborating with us to create effective weekly and seasonal specials, working with us on community events such as carnivals and festivals, suppling product knowledge and support, etc. Due to their consistency to our company, Wantz has always had the biggest footprint in our inventory.

Steve Rycyk – Manager

Liquor Locker

Wantz is a fine company to work with. Excellent sales staff. The delivery driver is one of the best.
