What evergreen liquors does

Evergreen Liquors is the consumer-facing banner of Cox's Spirit Shoppe & Evergreen Liquors, a privately held, multi-brand retail chain operating 26 stores across the Louisville, Kentucky metropolitan area and surrounding communities (Shelbyville, La Grange, Mt. Washington, Shepherdsville, Taylorsville, Bardstown, Prospect). The company sells off-premise alcoholic beverages across four primary categories — spirits (whiskey, bourbon, vodka, tequila, rum, gin, scotch, cognac, liqueurs, vermouth, brandy, schnapps), wine (red, white, sparkling, blend, rosé), beer (domestic, imported, craft), and ready-to-drink beverages (hard seltzer, cocktails, flavored malt) — with the original input also noting cigars and tobacco. Pricing spans budget options around $0.99 to premium bottles over $100, with spirits heavily weighted to the under-$30 segment and wine predominantly under $15.

The business operates as an omnichannel retailer combining a dense regional brick-and-mortar footprint with a CityHive-powered e-commerce storefront at coxslouisville.com, mobile apps on iOS and Android, drive-thru at select locations, and a local delivery service. Service-layer differentiators include a VIP Rewards loyalty program, "Staff Picks" curation, in-store tastings and events, bulk-order calculators for parties and weddings, and a Corporate Barrel Picks program targeting B2B bourbon allocations. The customer base is primarily individual adult (21+) consumers in the Louisville metro, with secondary segments in event planners and corporate buyers.

Revenue mechanics are straightforward retail unit pricing on a pay-as-you-go basis; the company is privately held, does not publish financials, has no disclosed institutional investors or parent company, and reports no M&A, leadership, or funding activity in the source data. The corporate office is located at 11516 Main St., Middletown, Louisville, KY, and the company's owned assets are essentially its 26-store physical footprint, brand portfolio, and customer-facing digital channels.
