RNDC Files For Chapter 11

Republic National Distributing Company (RNDC) on July 26 filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. The wine and spirits distributor cited the evolving industry, shifting consumer preferences and the increasingly challenging wholesale environment.

The Chapter 11 filing does not include National Distributing Company. RNDC’s joint venture in Alaska is the only joint venture included in the filing; its joint ventures in New York, Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Indiana and Kentucky are not part of the filing.

RNDC, which withdrew from California in June 2025, in recent months sold its many of its markets to competitors, which it says saved more than 5,000 jobs. But the company’s financial position ultimately required it to pursue a bankruptcy filing. It will now explore potential sale transactions in court and wind down of its remaining operations.
