Abstract:

North Carolina has the highest per capita consumption of soft drinks in the nation, with $850 million in sales in 1984. Much of that was taken in by Pepsi and Coca-Cola, the remainder going to small bottling companies which are often locally owned and operated. Wolfe-Cundiff discusses the competition between the companies for the consumers' dollars and the difficulty faced by small bottlers when competing with the industry giants.
