Andrews and Our Community

Through participation in charitable and social activities, Andrews Distributing is deeply connected to the communities we serve. As a company, we believe that giving back to our community is a great way to say thank you. We also believe that these activities are an investment in our employees, our community, and our future.

2013 March of Dimes

This year nearly 200 Andrews team members and their families put on their walking shoes for the March of Dimes March for Babies. The money from this event funds research and supports programs to help moms have healthy, full-term pregnancies. Walking since 1970, the March of Dimes has raised over 2 billion for the cause. This was our 3rd year in a row to participate in the March of Dimes as a company.
Sam's Club Bike MS

For two days, bikers ride in the Sam's Club Bike MS to raise money for multiple sclerosis. Organized by the Lone Star chapter of the National MS Society, this ride is the largest event of its kind in North America. Multiple Sclerosis is a chronic, unpredictable disease of the central nervous system (the brain, optic nerves, and spinal cord). Our riding group, called the Brew Crew, is made up of Andrews team members, their families, and our retail partners. During the 8 years that Andrews has participated in this race, our rides have raised more than $150,000 for MS.
Cattle Baron's Ball

Andrews Distributing is proud to be the main sponsor of the world’s largest single-night fundraiser for cancer research through the American Cancer Society. The Cattle Baron’s Ball started in 1974 in Dallas and has helped raise $40 million dollars for Cancer Research. At this year's event, country music star and Entertainer of the Year, Blake Shelton, performed on the Andrews Main Stage. The 2012 Cattle Barons set a new record with more than $3.5 million raised for cancer research.
Living Legends Luncheon - MD Anderson

MD Anderson Cancer Center’s Living Legends Luncheon has continuously attracted larger-than-life personalities and overwhelming support for the institution. Since its inception in Dallas in 1990, the event has raised more than $11 million for cancer and patient care programs.
Treasure Street - Scottish Rite Hospital

For 15 years Treasure Street has been Scottish Rite Hospital for Children’s signature fundraising event. To date, this event has raised $7.3 million dollars for the Tuberous Sclerosis Clinic at Texas Scottish Rite Hospital for Children.
Escapade - The Family Place

Andrews is proud to sponsor Escapade, the annual event benefiting the Family Place. The Family Place opened 32 years ago in Dallas County and has helped provide shelter and safety for victims of family violence. The Family Place is the largest family violence service provider in the Dallas area reaching out to thousands of victims of family violence each year with award-winning programs that keep women and children safe.

Christmas in the Park: Sponsored by the S.M. Wright Foundation

Founded by the S.M. Wright Foundation, Christmas in the Park provides clothes, bedding, books, toys and groceries to thousands of children and their families in DFW. When it’s time for Christmas In The Park, Andrews Distributing team members gather to provide brand new bicycles to the children of underprivileged families.

“I am very thankful for Andrews in providing support and assistance to thousands of less fortunate kids and families in our community. It’s wonderful to have a great company to work with our organization in helping these families get back on their feet towards self-sufficiency and stability. Thank you Andrews for your generosity,” says the Rev. S.M. Wright, II, pastor of People’s Missionary Baptist Church as well as co-founder, president and CEO of the S.M. Wright Foundation.

Welcome Brewers

Whether you represent a beer brand that is currently in the Andrews portfolio, or one that you wish to introduce to the Texas market, we appreciate your interest in learning what makes Andrews Distributing unique.

In this section of our website, dedicated exclusively to suppliers and brewers, we’ll give you a deeper look at the five core areas of our business that we consider to be the benchmarks of success. Regardless of size or geography, our supplier and brewer partnerships are extremely important to us.

We exist to help you build your brand, and here you’ll learn how we do it.

Winning Culture

Winning is a huge part of the Andrews culture. Our process is to find out what measures of performance matter to you and then execute until we meet or exceed your objectives. Our dedication to winning has resulted in numerous awards for outstanding performance, and more importantly it has helped our suppliers and brewers establish lasting relationships with loyal beer lovers in our markets.

Maybe it’s just our Texas pride, but we simply won’t settle for anything less than victory.

Acquisition and Integration Excellence

We use the term “acquisition” to describe both our long-term growth strategy of acquiring other distributorships and our pursuit of adding the world’s finest beer brands to our portfolio. In both instances, we have a strong history of successful acquisitions.

In all of our distributor acquisitions, we have successfully maintained and strengthened retail relationships while avoiding any disruption in service. Since our growing portfolio contains some of the best selling beers in the world, we bring enormous value to acquired areas of distribution.

Here you’ll learn more about how we acquire and integrate brands into markets in a seamless manner that leads to efficiency and success.

Portfolio Growth

Our mission statement says it all – brand building is what we do.

We’ve made heavy investments in research tools and marketing resources that help us create measurable brand growth for our suppliers and brewers. It starts with understanding your target customer in our market and creating marketing plans that help them connect with your brand.

In this video, you will learn more about our world-class marketing and brand building capabilities. You will also see how we put your brand into the accounts where it will sell.

Service and Execution Excellence

In the beer business, service and execution can make or break a sales and profit plan. Retailers depend on their distributor for knowledge about top selling brands and expect their orders to arrive on time and in good condition.

With over 7,000 on and off premise accounts in our territories, successful execution requires intense logistical planning, high-quality customer service, and virtually no mistakes. Andrews accounts and their customers will always receive exactly what they expect in the beer buying experience.

Collaborative Partnerships

We strive to be your valued partner in the Texas beer business.

This means we understand our commitment to you, and we consider your success our highest priority. Regardless of the size of your brewery or how many brands are in your line up, our approach does not change – we value our partners and go the extra mile for every single brand in our portfolio.

This video explores the five-step process that we employ to ensure that your brand performance exceeds your expectations. As you will see, Andrews is your committed and dedicated partner at every step of the sales process.
