History

Company History

Since 1960, Wayne Densch, Inc. has been an integral part of Central Florida. After seven years as a successful beer distributor in Waukegan, Illinois, Wayne and Nancee Densch were awarded the Anheuser-Busch distributorship for Central Florida in 1960. At that time Budweiser was the number three beer brand in Central Florida. But soon after Wayne Densch came to town Budweiser rose from number three to number one. A position it hasn’t given up.

As Budweiser, Bud Light and the Anheuser-Busch family of products grew to become the nation’s best selling beers, Wayne Densch, Inc. settled into its role as the king of the market. Until his death in May 1994, Wayne Densch continued to lead the company in non-stop growth. A caring man with an exceptional personal character, he also set into motion charitable programs and community service projects supporting education and the arts. Wayne Densch was proud to be a part of the fabric of life in Central Florida and donated millions of dollars to the community. In 1986, Mr. Densch contributed $1 million to the athletic program at the University of Central Florida (UCF) for scholarships. In gratitude, the University named its athletic building the Wayne Densch Sports Center, as well as retiring the UCF Knight’s number 1 football jersey in Densch’s honor. The Densch name now appears on several buildings on the expanding UCF campus in honor of his generosity to the University.

RESPONSIBILITY MATTERS

We brew our beers to be enjoyed responsibly by adults and always have. For the past 30 years, Anheuser-Busch has been the industry leader in promoting alcohol responsibility. Since 1982, when we launched our first responsible drinking campaign – Know When to Say When – Anheuser-Busch and our wholesalers have committed more than $980 million in national advertising campaigns and community-based programs to prevent underage drinking and drunk driving.
At Anheuser-Busch, sustainability is core to everything we do. Whether it’s sourcing high-quality ingredients from US farmers or reducing the environmental impact of our more than 120 facilities nationwide, a healthy environment and thriving local communities are key ingredients in the brewing process.
Anheuser Busch has longstanding commitment to support our communities and neighbors during times of need. Since the inception of our emergency drinking water program in 1988, we have worked alongside our wholesaler partners and the American Red Cross to provide more than 90 million cans of water to U.S. communities affected by natural disasters. These donations represent our ongoing commitment to help American communities when they need it most.
