As we celebrate the country’s 150th, Canada certainly has quite the history with the legendary drink. In fact, at one time Canada bottled more Coke than anywhere else in the world.
One of the best stories heard about
Coca-Cola
’s relationship to Canada is when the company president Robert Woodruff visited the country in the middle of a bitter 1930s winter — in Moose Jaw, Sask. And what did he see? A group of hardy Canucks chugging back bottles of ice-cold Coke.
“Robert Woodruff stopped in Moose Jaw and saw people were drinking Coke in winter time,” company archivist Justine Fletcher says. “He came back to Atlanta, assembled his staff and said ‘no reason you can’t sell
Coca-Cola
year round because the Canadians are doing it!’ ”
As we celebrate the country’s 150th, Canada certainly has quite the history with the legendary drink — Fletcher notes that “Canada, at one time, bottled more Coke than anywhere else in the world. In 1935, the Montreal plant became the world’s largest producer.”
Research shows that while officially The
Coca-Cola
Company and Canada have shared a special relationship since 1906, in truth the connection between the two has thrived for much longer. As the company’s official Canadian website notes, “the first record of
Coca-Cola
being available in this country dates back to 1892 — six years after the beverage was first served at Jacobs’ Pharmacy ... in Atlanta, when a Boston family acquired the sales rights for
Coca-Cola
syrup to soda fountains in New England as well as the as well as the Maritime provinces and Newfoundland (before joining Canada in 1949).
While we don’t know for sure if any sales were made at this time, by 1897 a company report from then-president Asa G. Candler remarks, “
Coca-Cola
is now
sold
to some extent in every state and in almost all the cities of the U.S. and in some of the cities in Canada.
In January 1906, the first bottling facility of
Coca-Cola
outside the U.S., opened in Toronto.
As the company’s website also notes, “The success enjoyed by the small factory was immediate as it struggled to keep up with the orders that flooded in from all around the city as well as neighboring communities. Toronto-bottled
Coca-Cola
was so popular in 1908 that it was being
sold
as far away as Ottawa, Montreal and Quebec City.”
Coca-Cola
Canada officials added that, as the popularity of the soft drink grew and consolidated in Central and Eastern Canada, the company turned its attention toward Manitoba.
“Construction on a Winnipeg bottling facility began in 1914. Due to difficulties with construction during the First World War the plant required much of the company’s attention, so much so that
Coca-Cola
’s headquarters in Canada actually moved to Winnipeg at the time (where they would remain until 1923).”
By April 1915, the company says, the plant was ready to open. Again, due to overwhelming sales, the plant was forced to expand twice in its first four years. By 1921, the Winnipeg facility was so busy that it outproduced
Coca-Cola
’s Atlanta and Birmingham, Ala., bottling plants combined.
These days,
Coca-Cola
is said to employ more than 6,200 Canadians and operates in excess of 50 facilities across Canada as well as six manufacturing plants.
