The Goodfellows story

Norman Goodfellows has been your go to liquor supplier since 1976. So, whether you’re browsing one of our stores, calling with an urgent order or planning a special occasion, we’re always here to help you. We have a national footprint that spans Johannesburg, Cape Town, Garden Route, and Durban. With over 47 years of experience in the liquor industry, we pride ourselves in being experts in our service offering. Our goal is always to provide the best service possible to our customers, that is why one of our core values is being a people-driven business.

Our B2B offering: Food & Beverage Distributors.

We’ve got the right stuff for your business!

While we have been trusted as your beverage supplier for 47 years, we recently ventured into servicing the catering needs of our customers… Why? We lost a restaurant group that loved our service, but they preferred to deal with just one supplier for their full food and beverage basket. We always aim to get the right product, at the right price and at the right time.

In 2022, Norman Goodfellows acquired District Distribution a wholesale provider of everything a business might need within the hospitality food and beverage industry. There is combined experience of over 40 years in the food and restaurant industry, giving our distribution service the expertise our customers need. To make things even more seamless, we also have a team of dedicated sales reps who are committed to taking care of our customers. Now, we are one of the largest distribution partners that service a number of restaurants, clubs, hotels, canteens, corporate clients and more. If you want something but it doesn’t seem available, we will source it for you and get it delivered.
