Coca-Cola Bottling Company United Inc. hosted a grand opening and ribbon-cutting ceremony to celebrate the opening of its new sales center and warehouse in Jasper, Ga. The company expects its $19 million investment to benefit its associates, customers and consumers.
The 26,000 ft2 facility includes a fleet shop and office space, as well as distribution and sales space. It will serve as a hub for distributing products in nearby Georgia counties.
