Pecht Distributors, Inc. Building on a family tradition
In 1929, Robert F. Pecht, Sr. and his father, Isaac H. Pecht, came to Lawrenceville when they purchased an ice plant and started Brunswick Ice & Coal Co., Inc. Over the years, Robert, Sr. and his wife Frances Pecht sold coal, furniture, appliances, bottled gas, and oil. Soon after the repeal of Prohibition, the Pechts were
approached by Anheuser-Busch, Inc. and were asked to distribute their products in eight counties in Southside Virginia. Robert and Frances Pecht’s son, Bobby, Jr., joined the company after military service in Korea and working in other careers. Today, siblings Robbie Pecht and Cindy Pecht are fourth generation beer distributors.
They consider their dedicated, communityminded employees to be the best in the business, and they attribute the success and longevity of the company to them. In fact, 75% of the full time employees have been with Pecht Distributors, Inc. for over 10 years, and more than half of the employees have been with the company for over 20 years.
