About Amcon Distributing Co

AMCON Distributing Co. (ticker DIT) is a U.S.-listed company traded on NYSE American in the United States. Headquartered in Omaha, Nebraska, the group operates in consumer-products wholesale distribution and specialty natural-food retail. Its business model is built around two complementary segments: a wholesale distribution platform serving retail and institutional customers, and a retail segment focused on natural, organic and specialty foods.

A key recent milestone was the 2023 acquisition of Henry’s Foods, which strengthened the company’s foodservice capabilities and broadened its geographic reach. Over time, AMCON has evolved into a regional distribution platform with an operating footprint concentrated in the Midwest, Rocky Mountain, Central, Mid-South and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States.

The company distributes more than 20,000 consumer products, including cigarettes and tobacco products, candy, beverages, groceries, paper goods, health and beauty care products, frozen and refrigerated items, and institutional foodservice products. Beyond simple product fulfillment, AMCON emphasizes value-added services such as manufacturer and company-sponsored sales programs, merchandising support, category management, information systems, inventory optimization and trade credit. Those capabilities help differentiate it from smaller regional distributors and support its competitive position in niche local markets.

Through banners such as Chamberlin’s Natural Foods, Akin’s Natural Foods and Earth Origins Market, AMCON sells natural, organic and specialty products across roughly 32,000 stock-keeping units, spanning supplements, produce, baked goods, frozen foods, personal-care products and general merchandise. While smaller than the wholesale business, this segment adds diversification and gives the company exposure to the higher-margin wellness and specialty grocery niche.

The company now serves customers in 34 states and operates 15 distribution centers after purchasing a facility in Ohio during fiscal Q2 2026. Recent disclosures also point to continued infrastructure investment, disciplined liquidity management and ongoing geographic expansion. Notable recent events include the Ohio facility acquisition, a special cash dividend declared in late 2025, and fiscal-year and quarterly updates that continue to show a high dependence on cigarette sales, even as the company works to broaden its mix across foodservice and other consumer categories.
