Im thnking of starting a Liquor store and I was wondering where would be the best place to order my liquor?!
Sorry, you don't get to pick and choose.
And in many states, hard spirits are regulated even further, to the point where your orders often have to go through the state, then the distributor ships your delivery.
Check with your state liquor board for a list of authorized wholesale agents and distributors in the area you are looking to open a store.
Keep in mind, you also have to go through the same regulatory board to obtain licenses, tax id #s, etc.
Get your checkbook ready, cuz it's expensive.
My advice? Get a lawyer who's experienced in liquor laws and licensing. Ask another retailer, or check with you state liquor board for recommendations.
Cheers!
Answers: It's not even a matter of competition. Beer, wine, and spirits are all regulated by the State. Wholesalers have specific territories in which they are able to do business, and those are the companies you have to do business with if you want to carry those brands.

The backwoods of Tennessee. LOL!
local and regional distributors will compete for your business.
whoever has the best prices and most dependability is the one to go with.
Depending upon the state, you may or may not have to buy from a designated distributor
to insure that the proper taxes are paid
You will first need an ABC permit/liscense as well as a business permit from city as far as where you will order your products,this is very regulated all products sold must come from bonded and liscensed distributors.Sounds like you have no clue...........good luck
