J. Rieger & Co. Distillery
“
The idea is to become a destination distillery
like you've never seen before."
Amanda Davis, J. Rieger & Co.
When Andy Rieger, his wife Lucy, and their business partner Ryan Maybee decided to resurrect the J. Rieger brand, they were committed to doing it right. Originally founded during the late 1800s in Kansas City’s bustling Livestock Exchange district, J. Rieger & Co. returned to their stomping grounds and purchased a new 60,000-square-foot flagship distillery for operation. In addition to a fully upgraded production area, the team at J. Rieger and Co. wanted to create an experience for visitors that shared their incredible history of creating, bottling, and serving.
Starting with their story front and center, the 3,000-square-foot historical exhibit features hundreds of artifacts in custom vitrine display cases, digital learning displays, informational signage, and expert design craftsmanship. The goal of the space? Playing the long game. In order to cultivate lifelong brand ambassadors for J. Rieger & Co. from their visitors, the approach shifted from direct ROI to immersive storytelling. We didn't just want to sell them in the gift shop—we wanted to sell them on the experience of being a part of this historic distillery. And to that we say, "Cheers!"
