Our Mission
As a family-owned business with strong ties in the communities we serve, Great Lakes Wine & Spirits is committed to giving back and inspiring others to do the same through community outreach, charitable donations, and sustainability initiatives.
In the community
Every year, Great Lakes Wine & Spirits donates thousands of dollars in products and resources to dozens of charitable organizations across Michigan, supporting initiatives that help residents, sponsoring community events, and providing scholarships for disadvantaged students.

Green initiatives
As the largest alcoholic beverage wholesaler in Michigan, we take our role in environmental stewardship seriously. From dynamically routing our lightweight trucks to a 100% recyclable facility and E24 Powered Roller Conveyors that reduce power usage by 60%, we’re making big strides to ensure our entire business is responsibly using, reducing, and recycling any materials we can. We’re proud to be a recipient of the Environmental Stewardship Award, presented by Orion Energy Systems, Inc.
