The Story of Coca-Cola Northeast
The company started in Laconia, New Hampshire in 1977. It was first known as the Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Northern New England (CCNNE). Today, it has 16 distribution centers. These centers are located in all six New England states. They also serve upstate New York.
The idea of independent bottlers started a long time ago. In 1899, The Coca-Cola Company made its first deal with independent bottlers. This helped make sure drinks were bottled well. It also made sure they reached many places. By 1909, there were almost 400 Coca-Cola bottling plants. Most of these were small, family-owned businesses. In October 2019, CCNNE changed its name. It became Coca-Cola Beverages Northeast. The company has been part of Kirin since 1988.
