This acquisition, which is subject to customary closing conditions, is McLane’s second since entering the regulated beverages distribution industry in April 2010, when it purchased Empire.
“McLane and Empire are very excited about our agreement to acquire Horizon and enter the Tennessee market,” said David Kahn, president of Atlanta-based Empire. “Tommy Bernard has built one of the finest and most highly respected companies in our industry, and we look forward to providing Tommy our full support and resources to continue Horizon’s leadership in the market and to position ourselves for further growth in Tennessee and beyond.”
