James (Jamie) Eubanks, Director, Alcoholic Beverage Control Division, MS Dept. of Revenue spoke to the Rotary Club of North Jackson at the club’s February 27, 2018, Meeting. He described the ABC’s operation and said that Mississippi is one of 17 states with ABC divisions. The ABC supplies all of the wine and liquor stores in MS from its Gluckstadt warehouse.
Mr. Eubanks said that he believes the MS operation is the best in the country. The Division has a total of 92 employees and uses two contract delivery companies for deliveries to retailers. ABC puts a 27% markup on products that it distributes.
We thank Mr. Eubanks for his presentation to our club and for his service to the State of Mississippi. He (center) is shown in the accompanying photo with Matt Monsour (left) who introduced him and Club President Witt Ruffin (right).
