Our story

Cool Cats Liquor was started by local owners ( Arnaldo Gjocaj and Brent Bunkley) with a simple vision: to create a liquor store that felt more like a neighborhood hangout than a big, impersonal chain. What began as a single store quickly turned into something bigger, a brand built on community, personality, and a genuine love for great products.

From day one, Cool Cats has been about doing things differently. We focused on building a welcoming space, curating a strong selection of spirits, beer, and wine, and treating every customer like a regular, even on their first visit.

As the brand has grown, the mission has stayed the same: stay rooted in the Big Country, support local people, and continue raising the bar for what a local liquor store can be.

Cool Cats isn’t just a store it’s a reflection of the community it serves.

Stay local, stay cool.

Cool Cats Liquor is a locally owned neighborhood liquor store built around one simple idea: great drinks, great vibes, and even better service.

We created Cool Cats to be a place where locals feel comfortable stopping in, asking questions, discovering something new, and never feeling rushed or talked down to. Whether you’re grabbing a quick six-pack, stocking up for a party, or hunting for a special bottle, our goal is to make every visit easy, fun, and memorable.

At the end of the day, Cool Cats exists to serve our community.
