“My grandparents founded Spec’s over 50 years ago on a promise to always do best for our shoppers, and Drizly makes it easy and convenient for shoppers today to enjoy all that Spec’s has to offer,” said Lisa Rydman, 3rd generation family at Spec’s. “As the leader in online alcohol e-commerce, Drizly was the natural fit to bring our vast inventory right to our customers’ fingertips and provide them with the convenience of delivery right to their homes and offices.”
