Forget keeping employees on-site, the new tax on sweetened beverages in the city of Philadelphia is driving people out of town. Catalina studied 109M transactions inside and outside the Philadelphia city limits to determine what impact the tax has had on retailers and certain beverage categories. The research showed that across sweetened beverages, the sugar tax dramatically cut sales within the city limits. Sales outside the city limits have substantially increased. Catalina has put together the research as an infographic.
