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.

“This grand opening event has been a long time coming, and we are so excited to see it come to life and share it with all of you today,” said Jasper Coca-Cola sales center manager Tim Brown in a release. “Whether you are a lifelong resident of Pickens County, a local or state elected official, or a longtime customer, we are thankful for your support of Jasper Coca-Cola, which has been in this community for almost 100 years.”
