What our Suppliers say about us

We’re a small, family owned operation, but Empire treats us as if we were a top three supplier. They catapulted Bumbu Rum into a Top 10 market in the United States for 2018. That’s an exceptional launch.

The three words I would use to describe the culture here would have to be family, positive, and fun! The management is so down to earth and personable.
Ebony R.
Empire Teammate since 2017
Empire makes business relationships feel like personal relationships. They understand the supplier/wholesaler dynamic and are always honest and helpful in providing input on brand strategy and tactics.
Michael B.

I’ve been a Teammate at Empire for over 30 years because of the family-oriented, collaborative culture. I truly enjoy the flexibility, the opportunity to share knowledge, and training new employees.
