Rockland Trust’s Asset-Based Lending Team provided a $6 million revolving line of credit to Yankee Spirits Inc., a retailer of wine, beer, and spirits with four locations throughout Massachusetts. The company sells a wide variety of alcoholic beverages, and utilizes warehouse space at each location to purchase in larger quantities, enabling them to offer discount prices. Proceeds from the line of credit were used to refinance their existing credit facility and going forward, the line will be used to support continued growth.
