In 1946, G. Louis Vitale risked everything he had to found G&M Distributors, Inc.  His first supplier was the Schlitz Brewery of Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  Vitale named the company after his children "G" (Guy) and "M" (Margot, Mike, and Marcia).

  After its humble beginnings in Galesburg, Illinois the company expanded into various beverages and bottling companies.  The company remains headquartered in Galesburg and now represents over 30 suppliers including Anheuser-Busch, The Gallo Family, PepsiCo, Pabst Brewing, and others.

  The company services a ten county region in western Illinois and remains family owned.  G&M is still true to its core values of taking care of its family of employees.  The company continues to be an integral part of its community and consistently gives back. 

We're proud of our family of employees, our history, and our community.
