Coca-Cola Bottling Co. Consolidated (NASDAQ:COKE) will open a new
chapter in its 93-year history in Annapolis by celebrating the
grand opening of its new Regional Operations Center.
“Coca-Cola has a rich history in Annapolis, and we are excited
and proud to expand our commitment to our customers here,” said
Kimberly Kuo, Sr. VP, Public Affairs. “Our business has always been
about local connections, personal service and community
engagement. The investment in the two buildings – totaling
107,700 square feet of space – will enable us to be more
engaged with and more efficiently serve our retail customers and
loyal consumers throughout the region.”
Annapolis traces its Coca-Cola history back to 1923, when the
Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Annapolis began manufacturing
operations. The Regional Operations Center, or ROC, was originally
built in the 1980s and handles deployment and refurbishing of
vending and other sales equipment. The ROC currently has 46
employees and serves territory throughout Maryland and eastern
Virginia for Coca-Cola Consolidated. It also contracts work in
parts of New Jersey and Pennsylvania for Coca-Cola
Refreshments.
Charlotte, N.C.-based Coca-Cola Consolidated, the nation’s
largest independent Coca-Cola bottler, formally moved operations to
the site in August and has invested more than $2.2 million in the
project, which has two buildings totaling 107,700 square feet of
space. The Regional Operations Center services more than 100 pieces
of equipment a day.
