Goldring Gulf Distributing Co., LLC
For more than 125 years, the Goldring name has been a cornerstone of the Northwest Florida business community. In 1898, Newman Goldring opened a wine and spirits storefront in downtown Pensacola. Following the repeal of Prohibition in 1939, his son Stephen Goldring officially founded N. Goldring Corp. as a small wholesale liquor distributorship in Pensacola. The distributorship grew across the Florida Panhandle for over 50 years under the leadership of Stephen and his son, third generation owner William Goldring.
In July 2001, the beer division of N. Goldring Corp. merged with powerhouse Gulf Distributing Company of Florida and the Maisel family, forming what is now Goldring Gulf Distributing. Goldring Gulf currently employs more than 350 hardworking people and operates out of its 192,000-square-foot state-of-the-art facility in Santa Rosa County, serving 140+ beverage suppliers and helping build brands and service retailers across Northwest Florida.

A Business is Born
Back in 1973, gas was 39 cents per gallon and a six-pack would cost you $2.11. It was also the year that Freida G. Maisel left her tenure as a middle school English teacher and purchased a struggling beer distributorship. And with that, Gulf Distributing Company was founded in Mobile, Alabama.
