About Atlantic Bottling Co. - Coca Cola
Atlantic Bottling Co. - Coca Cola
Welcome to Atlantic Bottling Co. - Coca-Cola, a legacy that began with Frank P. "Perk" Tyler in Villisca, Iowa, around 1905. Established as a family-owned enterprise, we have evolved into a leading, privately owned, and independent bottler and distributor of Coca-Cola products. Our distribution footprint spans across Iowa, encompassing parts of Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, and Missouri. Committed to excellence, we take pride in delivering exceptional service to our retail customers throughout our expansive distribution territory.
Our journey traces back to the entrepreneurial spirit of the Tyler family, particularly Royal, Harry, and Henry Tyler. In 1915, the Tyler brothers ventured into the soda industry with "Tyler's Flavors" and stumbled upon a hidden gem—a franchise contract for Coca-Cola in the safe of a creamery they acquired in Clarinda, Iowa. Undeterred by the product's initial unfamiliarity among Iowans, the Tyler's combined their soda prowess with Coca-Cola, leading to a surge in demand. Over the years, the business expanded exponentially, with strategic acquisitions of bottling companies in Shenandoah, Atlantic, Creston, Iowa, and Grand Island, Nebraska. By 1929, we proudly secured the franchise rights for Atlantic, solidifying our dedication to bottling and distributing the iconic Coca-Cola brand. Today, Atlantic Bottling Co. - Coca-Cola remains synonymous with quality, tradition, and a commitment to serving our communities with the refreshing taste of Coca-Cola.
