Chattanooga Coca-Cola Bottling Breaks Ground For New Facility Monday

  • Friday, July 18, 2014

Chattanooga Coca-Cola Bottling, a division of Coca-Cola Bottling Company United (CCBCU), will break ground on the company’s new state-of-the-art distribution and sales facility. 

The ceremony will mark the company’s 115th anniversary of doing business in Chattanooga – the day it launched the very first Coca-Cola bottling operation in the world. 

The expansion represents a $62 million investment, resulting in 43 new jobs and the revitalization of a former industrial property that will breathe new life into the surrounding community.

Remarks will be made by:

·         Ron Harr, President & CEO, Chattanooga Area Chamber of Commerce

·         Darren Hodges, Division V.P., Coca-Cola Bottling Company United

·         Mayor Andy Berke, City of Chattanooga

·         Mayor Jim Coppinger, Hamilton County
