“Today we have the pleasure of welcoming the Francis family and employees of NFC Company into our AWG family. Over 46 years ago, they started NFC Company with the thought of providing service to customers in the Chicago area and have been growing their business ever since. Combining NFC and AWG positions us to expand our capabilities to serve all our customers throughout Chicagoland. Our thanks to Norb, Dorothy, Ben and Dan Francis for partnering with AWG in this endeavor. We appreciate this opportunity to further enhance the service to our new customers.” – Jason Krieger, President & CEO AWG
“Returning home from Vietnam after serving in the United States Army, I was presented with an opportunity to work within the beverage industry. In the past 46 great years I worked side by side with my family and met amazing customers along the way. It has been a pleasure to watch breweries, bars, coffee shops, convenience stores, and restaurants grow and evolve as my own business was doing the same. After much consideration I have made the decision to partner with AWG as my wife and I prepare for retirement. I truly appreciate the relationships I made over the years. Looking forward to be a patron only.” – Norb Francis, Owner of NFC
