What are people saying about Imperial?
I have had the pleasure of working with the Imperial team for a number of years. Our partnership started when the company had our wines in Kalamazoo, and as Joe and Larry started to expand their footprint, Honig followed along. Based on the success of their home territory, I just thought it made sense to grow with them and now Imperial is our statewide distributor! I know they have great systems, and a big warehouse with lots of trucks, and a devoted sales team. All those things are important, but what really matters to me is that they are a generational family business that I am proud to have representing my family.

As a family owned company, Foley Family Wines is proud to work with other family owned companies. Our commitment to Imperial was recently affirmed as we moved some of our most important brands (to include Banshee, Four Graces, Rickshaw and Dashwood) into the Imperial stable. Having worked with some of the Imperial chain team… I was impressed by the professionalism and integrity of your people and your customer relationships. All of us at Foley Family Wines look forward to a long and prosperous relationship with the Cekola family and the great team at Imperial Beverage.

Hotel Tango has been partnered with Imperial Beverage since early on in the spirits days and continues to grow respect and admiration for the spirits selling machine that Imperial is building. The only wish Hotel Tango has as a supplier is that all wholesaler partners were as enthusiastic and effective at brand building as the team at Imperial is. The values at Imperial shine through and line up with our Core Values – Disciplined, Straightforward, Spirited and Gung-Ho! Thankful for one of the best organizations in the business, helping brand succeed in Michigan

Imperial’s focus on Michigan Craft Distilleries has been a breath of fresh air. We spent many years working with some of the largest distributors in the country, and we never felt at home. Imperial is always looking to build their portfolio with companies that work together and want to win together. We have had success growing both our spirits and RTD portfolio with the help and guidance of Imperial. The culture starts at the top with the family first mentality of the Cekolas and it resonates through the entire team. Through the good times and the hard times, the Imperial team as been there to support us. We have learned a lot from our brand manager, the chain team, the district managers, the account managers, and even the drivers that have resonated wand made us successful. We thank the entire Imperial Family for putting Michigan first and continuing to help us reach out gorals and grow our brands.
