This former Coca-Cola building was designed by Memphis architect Everett Woods. It was built between 1940-1941 and operated as a Coke bottling plant until 1979. After that, the building was used by the Jackson Tire Company and Patterson's Carpets. In 1997, Rose Construction, Inc. bought and restored the building for use as their offices. The building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. [map]

former Dr Pepper bottling plant

This Dr Pepper bottling plant was built in 1949. The 10-2-4 clock sign still remains. The building most recently housed Big F Insecticides but it appears to be vacant now. The advertising slogan which encouraged customers to drink a Dr Pepper at 10, 2, and 4 o'clock was developed in the 1920s. For more, see this website. [map]

former Coca-Cola bottling plant
Memphis, TN
Coca-Cola moved into this building in 1980. I assume there was another business in this building before that. The building appears to be from the 1950s. In 2019, it was announced that the company was moving production to West Memphis, AR. By 2022, the sign was gone. [map]
