Hundreds of Stores Across Six States, Notable Partnerships with Companies Including DoorDash and Core-Mark, with plans to expand into thousands more stores in the years ahead
LOS ANGELES, June 6, 2023 — Bevz, the leading software and services (SaaS) platform for independently operated and small chain liquor/convenience stores, has seen tremendous growth and success this year, with no signs of slowing down in 2023 and beyond.
Bevz was built by convenience stores for convenience stores. Started in January 2020 by Victor Grayr and Jason Vego, Bevz was created to modernize liquor and convenience stores, and help them grow their businesses.
“Convenience stores are an integral part of the snack and drink ecosystem. In the U.S., there are over 150,000 convenience stores doing hundreds of billions of dollars in annual sales, yet they’ve been completely overlooked by technology and innovation,” said Jason Vego, CEO & Co-Founder. “We’re on a mission to power the snack and drink industry at a hyper-local level, by helping brands get the right products into the right convenience stores, and helping convenience stores seamlessly sell more products to consumers.”
