Coca-Cola Beverages Florida (Coke Florida) debuted limited-edition America250 Coca-Cola cans at its Jacksonville manufacturing facility, one of a select number of production sites nationwide creating commemorative packaging representing all 50 states ahead of the nation’s 250th anniversary.
“Coca-Cola has been a unique and deeply rooted part of Americana for nearly 140 years,” said Troy Taylor, chairman and CEO of Coke Florida.
“As we celebrate this milestone, we’re proud to join our fellow bottling partners and The Coca-Cola Co. in bringing these commemorative cans to life. This effort reflects our shared commitment to celebrating America’s 250th Anniversary while continuing to create meaningful connections with the communities we serve across Florida and beyond.”
Federal, state and local officials joined community leaders and Coke Florida associates for the unveiling event, which offered a first look at the commemorative cans as they moved through production lines.
The America250-themed Coca-Cola and Coca-Cola Zero Sugar mini cans will be available at retailers across Florida beginning April 6. Patriotic branding will also appear on various Coca-Cola packages and other brands distributed by Coke Florida, including smartwater and Gold Peak. Specially-wrapped delivery trucks will travel throughout the state to extend the campaign’s visibility into local communities.
Following the unveiling, guests toured the Jacksonville facility for a behind-the-scenes look at Coke Florida’s operations — from production and packaging to warehousing and distribution.
The Coca-Cola Co. is a signature partner of America250 and has been part of moments uniting communities across generations since 1886. In addition to commemorative packaging, Coke Florida plans to support the anniversary through community engagement initiatives and local activations throughout 2026.
