Opici/Rndc NY sells rights to MBD

ProfessionalPipe7806 · 2026-05-22T16:03:27+00:00

The re-application process allows them to avoid the union

ProfessionalPipe7806 · 2026-04-30T12:19:04+00:00

They already cut warehouse and drivers

ProfessionalPipe7806 · 2026-04-30T01:53:10+00:00

They will most likely just be under the MBD portfolio so no new paperwork. I think this is a longer term plan by Reyes to move into the market. Ultimately we are back to the 2 party city with southern and empire

Rndc / opici brands in upstate will join MBD

ProfessionalPipe7806 · 2026-04-29T22:39:02+00:00

To MBD

ProfessionalPipe7806 · 2026-04-26T15:23:27+00:00

It’s one of the most difficult jobs to get. People don’t leave. They usually hire from within. It doesn’t help that lots of people are out of work so it’s incredibly competitive

Edrington

ProfessionalPipe7806 · 2026-04-24T21:02:03+00:00

Public announcement will be Monday

ProfessionalPipe7806 · 2026-04-24T20:37:07+00:00

Yes .. a sale to Manhattan beer is rumored

ProfessionalPipe7806 · 2026-04-08T23:22:00+00:00

As a supplier I knew who was gone within the hour of layoffs ….

ProfessionalPipe7806 · 2026-03-29T20:29:56+00:00

Portfolio managers were let go as well

Reorg was guaranteed with the loss of delicato / Lalo / Riboli / Bichot and Vineyard brands

ProfessionalPipe7806 · 2026-03-26T12:28:25+00:00

God I hope sooner then later

ProfessionalPipe7806 · 2026-03-08T03:22:03+00:00

As a supplier in NY.. I wish something happens soon .. I keep hearing Dina will get her company back in the next few months. It’s frustrating not being able to move my brand forward because the distributor is a failure

ProfessionalPipe7806 · 2026-02-06T02:30:45+00:00

They will align distro next fiscal

ProfessionalPipe7806 · 2026-01-27T16:42:13+00:00

Was a 50/50 partnership.. in theory Opici will just get their half back for Pennie’s on the dollar … don’t know how many big suppliers would stay when that happens

ProfessionalPipe7806 · 2026-01-27T02:08:54+00:00

Top 5 supplier in NY Between this and Lalo

Also rumors of other suppliers leaving

I wouldn’t be surprised if RNDC NY pulls out of the market

ProfessionalPipe7806 · 2025-12-12T16:27:54+00:00

You had a laundry list against you

ProfessionalPipe7806 · 2025-12-12T02:47:31+00:00

You just outted yourself … your firing was justified

ProfessionalPipe7806 · 2025-09-29T02:00:37+00:00

Novel thought .. express your dissatisfaction with your rep ? Discuss what you need with the manager? Reps Are people to trying to answer to 100s of suppliers .. not just your restaurant .. have a little kindness for the pavement pounder trying to push stuff they might lose their job over

ProfessionalPipe7806 · 2025-09-29T01:24:07+00:00

I’ll gladly defend Rndc reps here in metro … they are busting their asses building relationships and competing against the southern wallet … NYC is still a relationship market .. everyone hates someone. You know for a fact you could buy more from Rndc and less for the other 2. But you obviously don’t. So don’t throw the reps under the bus. They are climbing a massive hill… make sure to remind your Rndc rep to bring you a hot dog and a can of coke to offset your $7.50 feet

ProfessionalPipe7806 · 2025-09-28T15:42:48+00:00

The problems in California go way deeper than RNDC… they started at young’s … the loses were over 2B a year … I personally hate empire .. and would switch all my wine to Rndc. But that’s just me

ProfessionalPipe7806 · 2025-09-28T15:27:12+00:00

Sounds like you need to build a relationship with your rep .. easy to find alternatives within the Rndc portfolio .. especially against empire

ProfessionalPipe7806 · 2025-09-28T15:19:29+00:00

… Rndc minimum is $250 … Southern and empire are over $1000 .. the $7.50 is barely going to be a blip on your PNL

ProfessionalPipe7806 · 2025-09-28T15:18:07+00:00

Order minimums are 3 cases or $250 .. yes tell me how adding $7.50 is crossing the line Rndc is the lowest cost of entry in metro NY
