Coca-Cola Consolidated Inc
Coca-Cola Consolidated is a bottler and distributor of Coca-Cola beverages in the southeastern, midwestern, and mid-Atlantic United States. It does not own the Coca-Cola brand; instead, it buys beverage concentrates and finished products from The Coca-Cola Company, then manufactures, packages, sells, and delivers soft drinks, waters, teas, energy drinks, and other drinks to stores and food-service customers. Its main customers are grocery stores, convenience stores, restaurants, vending operators, schools, and other businesses that sell drinks to consumers. The company makes money by selling beverages and related packages such as cases, bottles, and fountain syrup through a large local distribution network. It also earns income from placing coolers, vending machines, and other equipment that help move its products through retail channels. What makes the business model distinctive is that it sits in the middle of the Coca-Cola system as a local bottling and route-to-market company. Coca-Cola Consolidated handles the physical work of producing, packaging, and delivering drinks close to where people buy them, while The Coca-Cola Company focuses on brand ownership, product development, and concentrate supply.
