Coca-Cola Beverages Florida, undertaking some big expansion projects in the region, recently announced some leadership changes, including naming new territory directors and territory general managers.
Known as Coke Florida, the Tampa-based company operates a 47-county footprint across the state through a territory-operating model. This operating model includes 18 territories that serve more than 21 million consumers from Jacksonville to the Keys.
The new leadership announcements include:
In addition to those promotions, April King, territory general manager at Fort Pierce, will expand her responsibilities to include the Brevard territory, the company says.
“Coke Florida is here to be the customer’s best partner,” Jeff Ortmeier, vice president of field franchise operations at Coke Florida says in the release. “We are equally committed to be a great place to work and to be active in the communities we serve. These territory leaders are critical to our ability to do that.”
Coke Florida is also expanding its physical presence, building an 800,000-square-foot distribution and sales center in Tampa. The $250 million facility, at U.S. Highway 301 and Causeway Blvd., will include automated order fulfillment capabilities, sales and distribution operations, fleet, and storage facilities.
