Gulf Distributing Expands Mississippi Operations with Facility Purchase in D’Iberville

Last Updated: April 1, 2026By Tags:

D’IBERVILLE, Miss. — Gulf Distributing has purchased and is renovating an 18,000-square-foot warehouse facility in D’Iberville to support the continued growth of its Energy Beverage Management distribution operations on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. The investment, totaling over $2 million, represents Gulf’s continued dedication to zealously representing Red Bull North America and providing its Mississippi retailers and consumers with Red Bull’s expanding line of premium energy drinks.

The building will replace the company’s previous Gulfport warehouse facility and doubles the size of its existing distribution footprint in the market. The expansion was driven by increased business volume and long-term growth planning, particularly to support the exciting growing portfolio of Red Bull’s products.

“This investment allows us to operate more efficiently while positioning our team to support continued portfolio growth in the Mississippi market,” said Elliot Maisel, chief executive officer and chairman of Gulf Distributing Holdings LLC. “Red Bull continues to innovate and lead the energy drink market. As consumer demand has increased, it became clear we needed additional space and improved infrastructure to maintain the high level of service our customers expect.”

The renovated facility is designed to enhance efficiency and safety, improve workflow, and provide additional capacity for future growth. The move supports Gulf’s existing team and customer base while providing the space needed for continued growth.

Like the company’s other recent notable facility investments across the region, the decision to purchase and renovate the D’Iberville warehouse was driven by operational efficiency and long-term planning. The expanded footprint ensures Gulf can continue meeting supplier demand while delivering consistent, reliable service to retail partners throughout its Mississippi Coast territory.
