Company Description

Southerners like their drinks sweet and for Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated (CCBCC), there's nothing sweeter than a Coke. CCBCC produces, bottles, and distributes beverages, principally the products of The Coca-Cola Company. Its distribution territory is mainly in the southeastern US. The company is the #2 Coke bottler in the US, serving areas in 11 states -- home to about 20 million prospective and hopefully thirsty consumers. Coca-Cola products account for more than 88% of CCBCC's sales. The company does, however, handle other manufacturers' beverages and actually owns some brands, including the flavored and vitamin-enhanced Tum-E Yummies drink and Country Breeze bottled tea.
