Coca-Cola United Opens $10 Million Sales Center in Panama City

Panama City Coca-Cola Bottling Company joined Coca-Cola UNITED in 2017 and opened a new $10 million facility on March 24, 2022 at 2825 Forester Trail in Cedar Grove Commerce Park.

Additions to the new building include a sales and distribution center, warehouse, fleet maintenance wing and offices.

The new facility brings with it a 13 percent increase in local jobs, 17 percent increase in direct customers and 36 percent increase in Coca-Cola consumers in the area. 

The former facility suffered damage from Hurricane Michael, leading to the planning and opening of the new Coca-Cola UNITED home in Panama City

With the new operation underway, associates have a better work environment and Panama City Coca-Cola has increased distribution capacity to serve seven counties on the Emerald Coast, according to Panama City Sales Center Manager Paul Corbin.

An official ribbon-cutting ceremony followed statements from Coca-Cola UNITED.
