St Louis Distributor Buys St Louis Blues

imageJust a little sports/beer tidbit…A group of investors lead by Tom Stillman has agreed to purchase the St Louis Blues hockey franchise for over $180 million.

This from stltoday:

Stillman, who became a minority owner in March 2007, is chairman and CEO of Summit Distributing, a St. Louis-based beer distributor. He has built a group of local investors that includes his father-in-law, former U.S. Sen. John Danforth; Steve Maritz, CEO of Maritz Inc.; Donn Lux, CEO of Luxco; the Taylor family, owners of St. Louis-based Enterprise Holdings; and Dr. Rick Lehman.

The Post-Dispatch reported several months ago that former Blues player Brett Hull has also inquired about joining Stillman's investment group. A source indicated recently that Hull is "still talking" with the group.
