Our Story

Don’t let our name fool you!

Winston Water Cooler, LTD was originally established in 1963 by Al Winston as Winston Water Cooler Company. The core business was selling and servicing water coolers and fountains in the DFW metroplex. In 1992 Mr. Winston sold Winston Water Cooler Company to Roy Ferguson. The company was renamed to Winston Water Cooler, Inc. At that time, the company added water purification to the line of products.  In June 2000, Jane Butter purchased the assets of Winston Water Cooler, Inc from Mr. Roy Ferguson and formed Winston Water Cooler, LTD.

Since 2000, Winston Water Cooler and our Family of Companies have expanded to over 55 locations in 6 states and over a dozen different services and over 600 employees.
