The Coca Cola Company
1- History of the company
Coca-Cola history began in 1886 when the curiosity of an Atlanta pharmacist, Dr.
John S. Pemberton, led him to create a distinctive tasting soft drink that could be
sold at soda fountains. He created a flavored syrup, took it to his neighborhood
pharmacy, where it was mixed with carbonated water and deemed “excellent” by
those who sampled it. Dr. Pemberton’s partner and bookkeeper, Frank M.
Robinson, is credited with naming the beverage “Coca-Cola” as well as designing
the trademarked, distinct script, still used today.
The first servings of Coca-Cola were sold for 5 cents per glass. During the first
year, sales averaged a modest nine servings per day in Atlanta. Today, daily
servings of Coca-Cola beverages are estimated at 1.9 billion globally.
Prior to his death in 1888, just two years after creating what was to become the
world’s #1-selling sparkling beverage, Dr. Pemberton sold portions of his business
to various parties, with the majority of the interest sold to Atlanta businessman, As
a G. Candler. Under Mr. Candlers leadership, distribution of Coca-Cola expanded
to soda fountains beyond Atlanta. In 1894, impressed by the growing demand for
Coca-Cola and the desire to make the beverage portable, Joseph Biedenharn
installed bottling machinery in the rear of his Mississippi soda fountain, becoming
the first to put Coca-Cola in bottles. Large scale bottling was made possible just
five years later, when in 1899, three enterprising businessmen in Chattanooga,
Tennessee secured exclusive rights to bottle and sell Coca-Cola. The three
entrepreneurs purchased the bottling rights from As a Candler for just $1.
Benjamin Thomas, Joseph Whitehead and John Lupton developed what became the
Coca-Cola worldwide bottling system.
