Wyoming's Bison Beverage Celebrates 100th Anniversary, Acquires Connect Beverage!
Bison Beverage, Wyoming’s premier family-owned beverage wholesaler, is proud to announce they have closed on the purchase of Connect Beverage of Casper, WY effective February 2nd, 2026. This is Bison’s third acquisition since 2018, expanding the company’s access to 18 Wyoming counties and more than 75% of the state’s population including the major markets of Cheyenne, Laramie, Casper, Sheridan, Gillette, Cody, Torrington, Wheatland and Douglas.
“We couldn’t think of any better way to celebrate our company’s 100th anniversary in 2026 than expanding our footprint and welcoming a whole host of amazing brands, retail partners and new employees into the Bison Beverage family,” said siblings and 4-generation owners Todd Lewis and Brittney Webber in a joint statement. With brands like MolsonCoors, Constellation, Mark Anthony, Sierra Nevada, Odell and many more, Bison is excited to grow their portfolio of brands in this new territory. Connect’s former home in Casper will serve as the main facility for Bison operations in that market and surrounding areas moving forward, along with a satellite facility in Cody.
“Our great-grandmother founded this company as Cheyenne Beverage in 1926 and it has been our family’s mission ever since to be the very best beverage wholesaler in the state,” said President & CEO Todd Lewis. “My sister and I firmly believe that this latest acquisition will play a vital role in guiding us to even more success for generations to come.” Todd’s sister and Vice-President Brittney Webber added that “Just as we did with our prior acquisitions, we will pay a great deal of respect to Connect’s roots in their local communities and continue to build on their long-standing efforts to be good community partners in all of their markets. Plus, we are so excited to welcome all of the former Connect employees to the Bison team and we look forward to watching them flourish as time goes on.”
