We are grateful for 80 years of opportunity that has been afforded our family resulting from the foresight of Donald J. and Marguerite McMahon and the unwavering commitment and can-do spirit of David and Mary Ann McMahon.
In 1936, David’s father was engaged in a wholesale grocery business. Ten years later he began distributing Anheuser-Busch products as Sebastian Beverage Sales. In 1955, after U.S. Army service, David joined his family’s distributorship and, upon his father’s death in 1965, he assumed leadership of the company now known as Belle Point Beverages, Inc. He served on the first Anheuser-Busch Wholesaler Advisory Panel from 1968 to 1971. This panel established the Wholesaler Equity Agreement, a standard of business that is still honored today. 2026 marks 80 years of exclusive partnership with Anheuser-Busch, providing sales and service to retailers in Arkansas and Oklahoma.
For 51 years, David and Mary Ann provided leadership to sustain and grow the wholesale distribution company and vision to purchase the property that is Belle Point Ranch, a division of the corporation. Today, Susan McMahon Taylor leads the corporation as president. She is joined in management by family members: Kathleen McMahon McGuire, Rick Taylor, Tim McGuire, Matt Holland, Claire Matlock and Christine Taylor. Belle Point Ranch’s management team includes family members: Julie McMahon French, Steve French, Madeline Taylor and Audrey Taylor.
We value our close association with the people of Anheuser-Busch, as well as the dedicated efforts of hundreds of hard-working people who have helped build our company through eight decades. We are proud of our involvement in the communities we serve and truly grateful for the patronage of everyone, everywhere, who raises a glass of cold, golden refreshment. As we always say, this Bud’s for YOU!
Our family’s deeply held values were instilled by David and Mary Ann McMahon and their generous, loving spirits flow through our lives today.
David was a man of vision and integrity. He celebrated imagination and worked to develop his innovative ideas. He eagerly served God, his family and his fellow man. He was a connector of people, a collaborator in projects, and a collector of friends. David embraced generosity and kindness as an opportunity.
Loving her neighbor was Mary Ann’s mission. She served her family, church and community with humility and joy because she understood that in doing things for others she could serve God. Mary Ann lived for service and she loved her life.
