Abstract:
Gigley discusses the development of Charlotte-based Pangleheimers Beverages and its signature soda, Gourmet Blush. The drink, which was developed about fifteen years ago by David Pangle, tastes like a mild fruit punch but has a kick at the end. Pangle and wife Maxine discuss the ups and downs of breaking a new soft drink into a market dominated by Pepsi and Coca Cola.
