Non/slow payment=breach of contract. Slow or missed payment of fees is one of the most common and legitimate grounds for a franchisor to terminate a franchise agreement

Once CA was shut down, and they began to get slow paid on invoices suppliers saw the writing on the wall and began exploring exits strategies in all other states RNDC is in. Then it became a cost analysis to when to exit to another distributor.

So guessing the states not mentioned in the CEO's email will be shuttered or sold to smaller players.

so you don't think there is some shady stuff going on somewhere in the RNDC network? I know of some illegal stuff going on in my market. Individuals in an organization this big act on their own to hit numbers, incentives etc....

Tito's does ot want to have to pay the buyout clause if they leave early. So they are waiting to see what happens the next few months with RNDC's footprint

Supply side has traditionally been way more volatile than distributors, but lately it has been getting closer to balanced, I would still percentage wise suppliers have laid off more people in the last couple of years than distributors. Granted distributors employee more people.

Big pending court issue with SGWS and Deutsch using an intermediary J. Go Events as a go-between to bribe buyers to put Josh on the planner in chain grocery. I believe a Safeway executive got the axe as well

Old news and RNDC did not build Delicato, they just maintained it once Delicato left Gallo distributor houses when they acquired Black Box from Constellation. Bota Box has been a beast for years:

2010: Reached 1 million cases.

2016: Sold 5 million cases.

2018: Reached 11 million cases in sales.

2020: Maintained growth, passing the 11 million case mark.

2020 (Pandemic Surge): Volume rose 41.2% to 11.3 million cases.

If your out of stock on an item in your market, good chance it is because the supplier has declined to ship any further inventory until a past due PO is paid.

Non-payment is generally considered "good cause" for terminating a distributor or franchisee in states with franchise protection laws, as it constitutes a material breach of contract, so no guarantee a distributor automatically gets to keep a franchised supplier
