What Park Street Imports does

Park Street Imports is a Miami-based, privately held alcohol beverage import and distribution platform that delivers comprehensive back-office, distribution, advisory, and trade financing services to more than 3,000 wine, spirits, and beer brands across the U.S. and European Union. Founded in 2003 by CEO Harry Kohlmann, the company operates with 501–1,000 employees from its 1000 Brickell Avenue headquarters, with national importing coverage across all 50 U.S. states and the E.U., plus bonded and tax-paid warehouse locations and direct-to-retail distribution in California, Florida, New Jersey, and New York.

The technology backbone is the Park Street Navigator — a centralized web platform with a publicly documented API at navigator.parkstreet.com — supplemented by iOS and Android mobile applications. Park Street positions AI-driven systems as core to its importing, distribution, logistics, and back-office operations, with declared capabilities in process automation and predictive analytics for order fulfillment, real-time reporting, distributor support, and accounting. Service lines are organized across Back-Office Solutions (compliance, logistics, accounting, importing, warehousing, order fulfillment, distribution, customer service), Advisory Services (strategy, growth acceleration, M&A support, joint ventures, IP licensing), and Working Capital (factoring, credit facilities, guarantees, letters of credit, early payment solutions).

The revenue model is built on a small per-case fee charged to suppliers on each case sold, deliberately avoiding the large mark-ups typical of alcohol importers, with suppliers retaining full control of their own sales and marketing budgets. This transactional core is augmented by managed services revenue from back-office outsourcing, professional services revenue from advisory engagements, and finance income from trade credit and factoring. Park Street runs enterprise field sales targeting distributors and brands nationally, while operating direct-to-retail sales in the four control-adjacent states. Strategic alliances include a 2022 partnership with ecoSPIRITS for sustainable closed-loop spirits distribution, Official Import Partner status with five major U.S. spirits and wine competitions, and industry event affiliations spanning BCB Brooklyn, Bar Convent Berlin, and Bar Convent London.
