Clark Beverage Group and Clark Distributing Company (Clark Group) is investing nearly $130 million to expand and establish a new corporate headquarters and distribution facility in Bowling Green.
Clark Group, an industry-leader in the distribution of both non-alcoholic and alcoholic beverages, is expected to create 20 new jobs with this project.

The project will see the company locate in a new 300,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art corporate office and distribution facility to better serve its existing customers and growing demand.
The expansion and new hires will push the company’s total Kentucky employment to more than 260 people.

Warren County’s strategic location, talented workforce and welcoming business environment made it the perfect choice for our continued growth. We look forward to building on our 120-year history and delivering the highest quality products and service to our customers across the region.”
