Running more than 200 routes a week to serve more than 46 million cases a year to 11,000 accounts in 16 counties in southern Texas, Silver Eagle Distributors realizes the importance of investing in its operations. The company currently has five major warehouses located in Houston, San Antonio, Cypress, Rosenberg and Conroe. The Houston warehouse is a 144,000-square-foot, controlled-environment facility with the capacity to house 1.5 million cases. The San Antonio facility, acquired from BudCo Ltd., is a 132,900-square-foot, controlled-environment facility with the capacity to hold more than 1 million cases.
Silver Eagle also runs two depots in Carrizo Springs and Del Rio, which was renovated last year. The company invested $2.3 million in a nine-month project to renovate 19,500 square feet of the existing Del Rio facility and added 10,600 square feet. Key areas of the updated facility include the creation of a controlled-environment warehouse and keg vault, which allow additional storage capacity for both packaged and draft beer; a new open-concept sales area that will enhance efficiency and work flow among Silver Eagle’s sales team; and a newly designed hospitality room to host local on-site corporate and community events. Additional updates include a new fleet maintenance area and a workout facility for Silver Eagle employees.
