A family-owned company founded in 1998 under the name LicoExpress.
We began as a small liquor store located in the Buenos Aires neighborhood of Medellín.
For over 20 years, LicoExpress has continued to grow across different areas of the city, positioning itself as the ideal place for friends and family gatherings — a space for enjoyment and connection, built on understanding the needs of the market.
In 2018, LicoExpress transformed its business model, giving rise to the Food & Drinks brand, through which we now operate five business units: liquor stores, distribution centers, fast-food restaurants, gourmet restaurants, cultural event venues, and logistics transportation.

We are proud to offer memorable experiences to our customers and generate more than 800 direct jobs, positively impacting hundreds of families across the country.
On May 20, 2022, we proudly celebrated a new milestone — LicoExpress became a national chain, expanding its presence across Colombia’s four main regions (Andes, Central, North, and South), supported by 12 distribution centers nationwide.
Food & Drinks is projected to become the leading company in the entertainment and consumer industry.
We promote responsible consumption, offering diverse products, settings, and experiences — always accompanied by exceptional service — where our customers can enjoy life’s best moments in spaces designed for friends to gather, where “the party never ends.”
