1983
Liquor Depot Opens its First Location
Liquor Depot proudly opened its first location in 1983, founded by Shair Baz Hakemy, affectionately known as Shawn.
After immigrating to the United States in 1979, Shawn took on various jobs, fueled by a dream to create a better life for his family.
His hard work and dedication led to the opening of Liquor Depot, with the goal of reuniting his family in the United States. Remarkably, Shawn achieved this goal just three years later.
1980-1989
Stronger Together
After immigrating to the United States Latif, Ahmed, and Joseph took on leadership roles within to grow the family business.
United by their belief that they are “Stronger Together”, each brother played a pivotal role in building the Liquor Depot brand from the ground up through a dedication to serving their team members, customers, vendor partners and communities.
1990 - 1999
Strategic Expansion
After the first decade of steady growth, Liquor Depot shifted focus to strategically building both convenience stores and liquor stores across the Dallas area. By the end of the millennium, the vision and hard work had paid off, resulting in a total of 10 successful stores supported by dozens of dedicated team members.
2000 - 2009
Breaking New Ground
The third decade of business for the Liquor Depot family brought many firsts, as numerous “dry” counties and cities in North Texas began allowing spirit sales for the first time. Liquor Depot led the way, becoming the first licensed liquor store to serve excited customers in several cities, including Roanoke, Balch Springs, Hutchins, and Glen Heights, among others.
2010 - 2020
Pioneering New Markets
The 2010s marked another era of remarkable growth and groundbreaking achievements for Liquor Depot.
This decade was filled with exciting milestones, as the brand continued to expand its footprint across North Texas. Liquor Depot proudly became the first liquor store to open in several cities, including Pantego, Allen, Alvarado, Arlington, Lake Ridge, and Everman, further solidifying its reputation as a trusted community partner.
In 2012, Liquor Depot reached a significant milestone by entering the Class B wholesale business, marking the beginning of a new chapter in the company's evolution.
This achievement underscored the company's commitment to innovation and excellence in serving its diverse customer base.
2020 - Today
Best Decade Yet
As Liquor Depot entered the new decade, the company continued to build on its legacy of excellence and innovation. The year 2023 marked a huge milestone, as Liquor Depot celebrated its 40th anniversary, a testament to four decades of dedication, growth, and community service.
Liquor Depot proudly unveiled its brand new company headquarters in Bedford. This state-of-the-art facility is situated next to the new "model" Liquor Depot store, showcasing the organization's goal of setting industry standards and providing an exceptional customer experience.
