Stone Distributing Co. (SDC) said on Feb. 5 its plans to add expansions to its SoCal operation into San Marcos.
“SDC was born of necessity in 1996 when distributors declined Stone’s bold and hop-forward beers, but today it’s a major contributor to Stone Brewing’s success,” Stone Brewing CEO Maria Stipp said in a release. “SDC has proven to be a powerhouse for the SoCal craft market. We’re doubling down our focus on this part of the business, which has given so much to Stone and the craft beer community.”
Stone Distributing Co. accounts for a 30% share of the craft-beer market in San Diego. The company also represents a 15% share in Los Angeles County.
“We are thrilled that Stone Brewing is coming back home to San Marcos,” Mayor Rebecca Jones in the release. “They opened their original San Marcos location 25 years ago in what is now The Lost Abbey, and we are delighted they are returning to their roots.”
