Buffalo Rock Company is a business that makes and sells drinks. It is located in Birmingham, Alabama. The company started way back in 1901. Buffalo Rock is known for bottling Pepsi drinks. They also make their own special drinks like Grapico and a unique ginger ale.
Buffalo Rock's ginger ale is different from others. It has a darker color and a stronger ginger taste. Some people even call it "ginger cola" because of its flavor. You can find Buffalo Rock and Grapico drinks in all of Alabama. They are also sold in parts of Georgia and the Florida panhandle.
What is Buffalo Rock Company?
Buffalo Rock Company is an independent bottler. This means they have a special agreement with big companies like PepsiCo and Keurig Dr Pepper. They are allowed to bottle and sell these popular drinks in certain areas. This makes sure drinks get to stores and homes.
A Long History of Drinks
The company began over 120 years ago in 1901. Over the years, Buffalo Rock has grown a lot. They started by making their own ginger ale. Then, in 1916, they created Grapico. This is a popular grape-flavored soft drink.
Introducing Dr. Wham
In 2005, Buffalo Rock introduced a new soft drink called Dr. Wham. This drink is sold in places where Buffalo Rock does not have the rights to sell Dr Pepper. For example, you can find Dr. Wham in cities like Huntsville, Alabama and Montgomery, Alabama. It is also sold in Columbus, Georgia, Pensacola, Florida, and Staunton, Virginia. You can find a full list of places that sell Dr. Wham on the Buffalo Rock website.
