Craft Brand Partnerships SBG has recent partnerships with Boston Beer Company and Rhinegeist, along with Evil Genius, Cigar City, and Braxton, highlighting a proven path to onboarding and scaling craft brands in Ohio. This presents a targeted sales opportunity to approach mid sized craft brands seeking Ohio distribution, with co-marketing support and access to Columbus and Cleveland metro markets.
Regional Distribution Capacity Two primary distribution centers in Columbus and Glenwillow enable broad coverage of Central and Northeastern Ohio and support sizable volumes. This makes SBG an attractive partner for regional and national brands aiming for reliable shelf presence, faster replenishment, and potential exclusive submarket opportunities in the Ohio corridor.
Data Driven Services SBG leverages Nielsen data and other tools, enabling data driven category management, promotions, and assortment optimization for supplier partners. Offerings can include quarterly business reviews, shelf analytics, and retailer-level insights to drive distribution wins and faster time to market.
