Glazer’s is one of the largest beverage distributors in the U.S. We represent a wide variety of wine, spirits, malt beverage and non-alcoholic suppliers in our 11 U.S. states, and employ over 6,000 people. We are the leading distributor by market share in Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, Missouri, and Arizona.

Glazer’s as a company started in 1909. In 1933, when Prohibition was repealed in the U.S., we became a beverage alcohol distribution company.

Glazer’s is owned by the Dallas-based Glazer family, and is on its 3rd generation of family ownership and management.

Glazer’s is led by family members Chairman and CEO Bennett Glazer, and Executive Vice Presidents Mike Glazer and Barkley Stuart. Glazer’s President is Jerry Cargill. He is supported by Executive Vice President/Chief Operating Officer Mike Maxwell, and Executive Vice President/Chief Financial Officer Cary Rossel.

Glazer’s does business in 11 U.S. States: Arizona, Arkansas, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio, Oklahoma, and Texas. Its corporate headquarters is located in Dallas, TX.

Glazer’s is a distributor, which means that we purchase products from the supplier tier, and then sell them to the retail tier. The Three-Tier System is a federally mandated mechanism for the delivery of beverage alcohol in the U.S., and each state has its own rules and regulations to which distributors like Glazer’s must adhere.

Glazer’s is a diversified beverage distributor, and today we do business with virtually every beverage alcohol supplier in the U.S. in at least one of our twelve states.

Depending on the state, we sell to customers who hold a retail license. This can include grocery stores, convenience stores, package stores, membership clubs, military installations, restaurants, bars, and hotels.

Glazer’s is an industry leader for brand building and customer service. We invest in infrastructure, people, and technology to drive a competitive advantage in the marketplace. Our people are the best trained beverage professionals in our markets, and, through our Glazer’s Beverage University, we train our customers to be able to impart brand and beverage knowledge to consumers. Glazer’s technology is leading edge in the industry, and enables our people, our customers, and our vendors to build our collective businesses.


In its 6th year, Glazer’s Community Partnerships has been at the forefront of the industry for educating the public on the dangers of underage drinking and drunk driving. We have established the Alcohol Safety Network and the Texas Safety Network, which are on-line portals for our stakeholders to get information and ideas on how to advance responsible drinking in our communities.

Every Glazer’s state and branch is an active and responsible member of the community. The list of non-profit organizations and social causes that we support is infinite, and Glazer’s takes pride in its corporate social responsibility initiatives.
