WFC Welcomes the Largest Pepsi Distributor in Alabama to Food Sport

ORANGE BEACH, Ala. (October 6, 2016) – The World Food Championships has entered into a strategic partnership with another Alabama-based company for its 5th Anniversary. Headquartered in Birmingham, AL, Buffalo Rock Company is joining WFC as its official beverage supplier for the Ultimate Food Fight in November.

Buffalo Rock manufactures and distributes some of the best known brands in the industry, including Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Aquafina, Lipton, Dr. Pepper and more. Many of the company’s brands will be available at WFC in VIP zones, special events and for purchase during all festivities.

With over 111 years of experience in the beverage industry, Buffalo Rock has been recognized throughout the years as an innovative, award-winning bottler, including the Donald M. Kendall Bottler of the Year Award (the highest honor bestowed upon Pepsi Bottlers) and Beverage Industry’s Bottler of the year (the highest recognition possible in the industry).

“We’re excited to add such a prestigious Alabama business to our list of sponsors and bring some of the most desired beverages to WFC. We think our consumers will love the beverages we’re bringing, especially a Southern staple like Lipton Iced Tea,” commented Mike McCloud, CEO of World Food Championships.
