Americana, nostalgia, and a distinctive essence all their own, Coca-Cola, born in Georgia and bottled in Savannah, has left an indelible mark on communities throughout the South and within our local realm. The recipe for “America’s favorite soft drink” was crafted in Atlanta in 1866, and the company was officially incorporated in 1891.

As the era of bottling and distribution commenced, Savannah Coca-Cola established its presence on East Bay Street in 1902, marking the second Coca-Cola bottling operation in the United States. Adding a layer to Savannah’s already rich tapestry of history, Savannah Coca-Cola later shifted to the Pooler area during the 1980s. Today, they remain steadfast in upholding their core values of quality, integrity, respect, and excellence. Comprising over 200 dedicated employees, Savannah Coca-Cola takes immense pride in serving the world’s #1 Soft Drink and extending support to customers, consumers, associates, and the communities through various civic and charitable organizations. These charitable initiatives offer the Savannah community an ongoing connection with the timeless Coca-Cola brand. This bond manifests through regional programs and giving, such as the sponsorship of the Coastal Empire High School Sports Awards and the selection of a Savannah State University student as one of Coca-Cola UNITED’s 2023 Pay It Forward interns. The company firmly states, “For over a century, we have wholeheartedly backed numerous civic and charitable organizations, contributing to the betterment of their residents. We view our local communities, along with our associates, customers, and consumers, as an integral part of the Coca-Cola UNITED family.”
