history

Founded in 1969, the company opened its first beverage store in Nuremberg in 1970 .

The name "FRISTO" is derived from the first and last name of the first sales manager, Fritz Stoll.

In 1991 the company, which was initially based in Nuremberg, was relocated to Buchloe.

Since then, the sales area has been continuously expanded and consolidated. Additional branches as well as logistics and administration locations were built for this purpose. In 2015, the fifth and logistics center in Zimmer ob Rottweil followed on around 40,000 m².
