SHREVEPORT [AP] — After 60 years in its current facility in Shreveport, Coca-Cola Enterprises is preparing to break ground on a $10 million sales and distribution center.
A spokeswoman for Coca-Cola says the company needs the larger facility to accommodate its distribution operations in the area, according to The Times newspaper in Shreveport.
Coca-Cola employs about 170 employees in Shreveport. The spokeswoman said construction of the facility will create 200 to 225 jobs for contractors and suppliers. Groundbreaking is set for Monday. Completion is expected by October or November of 2010.
