ST. PAUL, Minn. and CHICAGO, Ill. – Jan. 4, 2023 – Provi, the largest ecommerce marketplace for the beverage alcohol industry, and Johnson Brothers, a wine, beer, and spirits distributor, today announced an expanded partnership to increase marketplace access for on- and off-premise customers in select new markets. The launch will offer retailers in Nevada, Wisconsin, and Florida a new way to discover and shop Johnson Brothers’ robust portfolio and interact with sales consultants.

The companies currently partner in key east coast markets, such as New York, New Jersey, North Carolina, and Rhode Island. With this expanded collaboration, more trade customers will have access to Johnson Brothers’ current portfolio, up-to-date inventory, and real-time product discounts through Provi’s marketplace. 

Founded in 1953, Johnson Brothers’ portfolio includes global suppliers and the newest craft brands in the wine, beer, and spirits industries. 

Provi’s mission is to bring greater efficiency to the beverage alcohol industry and the existing three tier system. The company’s online marketplace simplifies the complex process of ordering, selling, and promoting wholesale alcohol between buyers, distributors, and suppliers. In early 2022, the company announced it joined forces with SevenFifty and recently shared its commitment to further enhance the marketplace experience and distributor tools

“Alongside Provi’s overall goal to improve connections across the beverage alcohol three-tier system, our focus as a company is to make the jobs of distributors, on- and off-premise retailers, and suppliers easier,” said Taylor Katzman, Provi’s Founder & CEO. “We are excited to have a partner like Johnson Brothers who shares a common ethos and are committed to the digital transformation of our industry.”
