ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (July 21, 2020) – In light of the rising number of COVID-19 cases in the area, St. Petersburg Distillery is expanding their efforts to assist in slowing the spread in the community by offering a 50% discount on hand sanitizer products. Special discount codes are now listed on the distillery’s Instagram and Facebook pages and and can be used to purchase any of these products – from packages of the individual 1.7 oz bottles, up to the 5 gallon buckets. All sanitizers comply with FDA/WHO guidelines and are created by St. Petersburg Distillery’s trained chemical engineers.

In March, the distillery shifted production to hand sanitizers in response to the shortage of the product in the area. To ramp up production, St. Petersburg Distillery hired 50 out-of-work bartenders, musicians, and restaurant and service industry professionals to help with packaging, labeling, and distribution. Workers are following all CDC guidelines regarding workplace safety, protective gear, and public interaction. To date, the distillery has donated more than 100,000 units of sanitizer to the community, including local law enforcement agencies, city offices and first responders.

“With this promotion, we’re making these locally-made products available to help keep locals safe and healthy throughout the crisis,” said Skip Ragan, Senior Vice President of St. Petersburg Distillery. “We will continue our free sanitizer giveaways for individuals through Feeding Tampa Bay and additional charities, but we felt offering products of all sizes at a deep discount would assist individuals, organizations and companies with their immediate needs to help curve the coronavirus.” 

The hand sanitizers can be purchased securely through the distillery’s online market place, which offers no-touch pick-up at the distillery, as well as delivery options via the US postal service.
