On May 8, 1886, Dr. John Pemberton served the world?s first Coca-Cola at Jacobs\' Pharmacy in Atlanta, Ga. From that one iconic drink, we?ve evolved into a total beverage company. More than 1.9 billion servings of our drinks are enjoyed in more than 200 countries each day. And it?s the 700,000 individuals employed by The Coca-Cola Company and 225+ bottling partners that help to deliver refreshment across the globe. Our purpose and passion have always been refreshment In 1960, we acquired Minute Maid. That was our first step toward becoming a total beverage company and being there when people enjoy and share in life?s best moments. Total Beverage Company Our beverage portfolio has expanded to more than 200 brands and thousands of beverages around the world, from soft drinks and waters, to coffee and teas.
