Who We Are

Champion Brands is a distributor of beer, spirits, wine, Red Bull energy drinks, water and other non-alcoholic beverages. We are a veteran and family-owned business with deep roots and humble beginnings dating back to 1985 when we started distributing Miller Brewing Company products in Duval County. Today, our team of 315 employees is proud to represent more than 60 beverage suppliers. With branches in both Jacksonville and Savannah, we partner with over 3,200 retailers across 37 counties in Northeast Florida and Southeast Georgia.

 

What Makes a Champion

At Champion Brands, we are passionate about the beverage business and consistently look for new opportunities to grow. Becoming a leader within our industry has not been easy. Hard work and an honest approach to servicing our customers and suppliers have allowed us to become an award-winning distributor. We work hard every day to live out our core values and enjoy giving back to our communities.

ECO-FRIENDLY INITIATIVES

One of our core values is sustainability. Over the past decade, Champion Brands has made major investments in reducing our environmental impact. In 2015, we began converting our fleet to operate on compressed natural gas (CNG). Today, most of our trucks run on cleaner-burning CNG and we even have our own CNG station on-site. Additionally, we have one of Northeast Florida’s largest solar panel systems that powers our buildings. We are dedicated to changing the way Jacksonville thinks about energy and minimizing our impact on the local environment.
