Southern Crown Partners is a mid-sized distributor in the food and beverage services industry, based in Charleston, South Carolina. The company traces its roots to the Fitzgerald Ice Company, founded in 1907, and grew through family leadership and a series of acquisitions that expanded its geographic reach. It is among the oldest continuously operating Anheuser-Busch distributorships in the United States, with growth driven by adding new markets such as Vidalia, Savannah, Blackshear, Sumter, Orangeburg, and Myrtle Beach along the way. Today, SCP operates as a distributor of Anheuser-Busch products and other beverages, serving retailers across its expanding South Carolina footprint, including Columbia and Greenville. A recent development noted in industry reporting highlights its ongoing expansion, such as the Midlands and Upstate growth through the acquisition of Columbia-based KW Beverage, reflecting a strategy to broaden its distributorship network.
