United Package Liquors President Adam Hill recently discussed his company's move in the Broad Ripple area to 1067 Broad Ripple Avenue.

UPL has been on the tiny triangular site of the old Town of Broad Ripple jail since 1988.

"The old store (at 1002 Broad Ripple Avenue) was 2,100 square feet and the new store will be about 3,200 square feet. We will have a much broader selection of wine and craft beer, in addition to more spirits. We'll also have a large tasting bar inside the new store so customers can sample many of the products offered and attend our weekly tastings. This is all in addition to the everyday low prices and great customer service. Our overall goal is to totally enhance the customer experience inside the store," Hill explained.
UPL remains family owned and operated. "My grandfather, Leon Riggs, started the business in 1964 and turned it into something very special. Prior to coming on board in September 2010, I attended Indiana University for law school and then practiced law for four years in the areas of commercial litigation and complex business transactions," Hill said. "It was important for my grandfather to maintain a family owned and operated business, which is why I made the transition. I couldn't be happier and more excited about continuing and enhancing what he has created," he added.
UPL's Grand Opening is Friday, December 21, 2012, from 4 p.m. to 8 p.m. It will feature many special prices on products and some cool vendor give-a-ways in the store. Customers will have the opportunity to sample many new products, as well. More information is available by calling 257-3600 and at their website, www.unitedpackageliquors.com.
UPL currently owns and operates 23 stores in Indiana and four in Kentucky.
It is also very important for UPL to give back to the local community. Mr. Riggs started United Hope Foundation in 2005 and since that time, United Hope has raised over $1,250,000 and donated to various individuals, families and local organizations in Central Indiana. The mission is "to support individuals and families facing extreme hardship and support local 501(c)(3) organizations with similar goals." United Hope believes that by providing support to non-profit agencies, it can improve the quality of life for those struggling to make ends meet. United Hope supports many organizations in Central Indiana and accepts requests for funding throughout the entire year. For questions about United Hope, please contact the Executive Director, Jill Bennett at jbennett@lorcorp.com.
United Package Liquors' new location and its charitable work in the Central Indiana community gives customers many items worth toasting this holiday season.
