Reyes Beverage paid $42.6 million for Republic National Distribution Company's Phoenix warehouse at 402 S. 54th Place on June 2, according to real estate database Vizzda, as cited by ABC15 Arizona and the Phoenix Business Journal.
The Phoenix transaction is part of a broader deal in which Reyes Beverage Group acquired RNDC's operations across 11 markets. The facility purchase closes the Phoenix chapter of a takeover that rattled RNDC's local workforce: the distributor filed layoff notices for more than 200 Phoenix employees after news of the acquisition became public, according to AZFamily.
The layoffs were not isolated to Phoenix. RNDC issued conditional layoff notices to roughly 2,800 workers nationally as the Reyes acquisition neared close, according to Distribution Strategy Group. RNDC has also moved to sell additional assets as the Reyes takeover reshapes the company's footprint, per reporting by MSN/industry sources.
Reyes Beverage Group confirmed the close of the RNDC acquisition across all 11 markets on its website. The status of the Phoenix workforce under new ownership has not yet been disclosed in public records.
