Johnson Brothers of Minnesota
The land of 10,000 lakes is home to the headquarters of Johnson Brothers. The company began its operation in 1953 with a rented truck, a converted roller-skating rink for a warehouse, and a tiny portfolio of brands. Today, Johnson Brothers is the largest wine and spirits distributor in the state, covering every town and account with Minnesota’s biggest and most dynamic sales force. The company proudly represents a world-class portfolio of beer, wine, and spirits through 14 selling divisions.
