TIFTON, Ga. (WALB) - Almost 3 million bottles of Coca-Cola products will circulate every day through the new sales and distributing center in Tifton, according to Tony McBrayer, the chairman for both the Tift County Board of Commissioners and the Development Authority.
“Don’t bottle, they’re just a distribution warehouse and of course you’ll have a management, you’ll have clerical, you’ll have salespersons, you’ll have warehouse workers and CDL drivers just to get the product out to many places like in Georgia, Alabama and Florida,” said McBrayer.
People of Alabama: Pamela Cook of Birmingham

What is something your parents instilled in you that you are grateful for now?
“Education. It was just very important. My parents grew up on a farm in Selma, Alabama, during segregation. They came of age as the world was changing and education wasn’t always afforded to a lot of people of color during those times. Going to college was a big deal. To see their children go to college and go on and be successful is the greatest reward for them. As their child, it makes me proud that they are happy. We all strive to make our parents proud and there is nothing greater than going on and making something of yourself where you are giving back and contributing to society because you are the next generation. You become their wildest dream coming true.” –Pamela Cook, director of Multicultural Marketing and Community Affairs for Coca-Cola Bottling Company United in Birmingham.
