Indiana Liquor Group was formed by Marion native, David Hartley, and two other investors in 2018 for the specific purpose of purchasing Save-On Liquor. Since then, they have acquired Muncie Liquors and Boulevard Liquors. Indiana Liquor Group currently operates 37 retail package liquor stores throughout the north-central part of the state.
Indiana Liquor Group’s first purchase, Save-On Liquor, continues the legacy of a classic Hoosier success story. Save-On’s original owner, Phil Miller, purchased his first liquor store in 1969 in Marion, and over the past 50 years worked hard to grow the business into 31 stores. Miller’s success was a simple formula: treat people well and provide an excellent value, and good things will come. After a 50-year career, Miller was ready to retire and enjoy his personal passions and family, and Hartley acquired the company.
Over the last two years, David Hartley and the Indiana Liquor Group team has worked hard to renovate each of the Save-On Liquor store’s facades and interior, increase the selection of craft beers, wine, and alcohols, and build a friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Recently, Hartley purchased the former Mission Mart in central Marion and has plans to turn the building into Indiana Liquor Group’s headquarters. Indiana Liquor Group’s goal is to become one of the best retailers of beer, wine, spirits and tobacco products in Indiana. They focus on customer experience by providing outstanding service, selection, and value.
Indiana Liquor Group looks forward to continued improvements, adding new products, and creating jobs, as well as growing and expanding in Marion and across the region. The City of Marion is proud to be the headquarters of a locally owned, quality liquor chain.
