NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits of New York (Southern Glazer’s), the preeminent distributor of beverage alcohol, is proud to announce the opening of a state-of-the-art facility in Midtown Manhattan. The SGWS NYC DWS (Direct Warehouse Sales) and Office is a 4,485-square-foot, multi-purpose center with a focus on customer service and hospitality. Located conveniently at 866 United Nations Plaza, the modern-industrial venue features Southern Glazer’s first Metro New York-located Direct Warehouse Sales (DWS), a Fine Wine Room, and state-of-the-art Mixology Lounge.
With this opening, Southern Glazer’s reinforces its commitment to maintaining physical presence in Manhattan at a time when the city has been affected by the relocation of so many companies.
“We believe it is incredibly important that we continue to support the great hospitality community of New York City as it continues to rebuild from the impacts of Covid-19,” said Marty Crane, Executive Vice President and General Manager of Southern Glazer’s Wine & Spirits of New York.
The new DWS holds close to 800 spirits and wine SKUs and allows any retailer with a valid NYS Liquor License to shop for and purchase top selling spirits and wines from the Southern Glazer’s of New York portfolio. This significant new asset improves the efficiency of wine and spirits sales by giving customers another convenient way to do business with Southern Glazer’s.
Through the DWS is a climate controlled Fine Wine Room boasting high-end millwork and a tasting area with access-controlled Dura Glide glass doors. The room holds close to 200 wine SKUs ranging from affordable brands to luxury items within the Southern Glazer’s of New York portfolio.
Adjacent to the DWS, this Fall, Southern Glazer’s will soon open a new business center, where business guests will be greeted by a welcoming and modern lobby area, leading to the Mixology Lounge, with a striking bar featuring brands from the Southern Glazer’s of New York spirits and wine portfolio. This space will be ideal for drink development and mixology training, along with casual receptions for invited guests.
The SGWS NYC DWS and Office are slated to open October 2023.
