Western Grocer Serving the industry since 1916
Calgary, Alberta — Feb 2, 2026 — Coke Canada Bottling marked the official unveiling of its new high-density, technology-enabled warehouse at its Calgary facility, representing a $75 million investment and the largest made by the company since becoming an independent, family-owned Canadian bottler in 2018.
The 60,000-square-foot warehouse features Coke Canada Bottling’s first-ever Automated Storage and Retrieval System (ASRS) and strengthens Calgary’s role as a key hub for the company’s Western Canadian operations. The investment enhances efficiency and supports long-term growth while improving service for customers across the region.
“We’re proud to add a new, red beacon to the iconic Calgary skyline representing our ongoing commitment to investing in how we make, move and sell Canadians’ favourite beverages right here in Alberta,” said Tony Chow, President of Coke Canada Bottling. “This state-of-the-art warehouse features our first high-density, technology-enabled system which will improve our speed and agility, helping us to grow and better meet the evolving needs of our customers in Western Canada.”
Rising nearly 12 storeys high and capable of storing close to 20,000 pallets, the warehouse is now a prominent landmark in Calgary’s northeast, visible to those arriving at Calgary International Airport. To put its footprint into perspective, when at capacity, the warehouse could store more than 65.5 million 355ml cans.
“This $75 million, high-tech investment is a strong vote of confidence in Alberta, our economy, and in the skilled workers, trades, and partners who helped bring this facility to life,” said Joseph Schow, Minister of Jobs, Economy, Trade and Immigration. “We are proud that Coke Canada Bottling has chosen Calgary as home for this project, reinforcing Alberta’s role as a hub for innovation, manufacturing, and economic growth. Our government looks forward to keeping Alberta the best place to invest, attracting the confidence of major companies like Coke Canada Bottling for decades to come.”
“This major investment by Coke Canada Bottling reinforces Calgary’s reputation as a city that means business,” said Jeromy Farkas, Mayor of Calgary. “We continue to deliver the right atmosphere for world-class companies to operate, grow and succeed. We’re proud to see this high-tech facility to not only call Calgary home – but to thrive and expand here. We are encouraged by their continued confidence in our city and look forward to supporting continued investment and job creation right here in Calgary.”
The ASRS centralizes storage within Coke Canada Bottling’s local Calgary operations. Delivered in partnership with System Logistics, CANA Construction, and 30 Canadian trade partners, the project injected approximately $29 million into the local economy.
Coke Canada Bottling employs more than 400 people in Calgary, where it operates a Combo Centre that includes manufacturing, sales and distribution, and now the new automated warehouse. As Calgary’s Local Bottler, and a family-owned business, the company makes, moves, and sells many of the brands Canadians know and love, including Coca-Cola®, Coke Zero Sugar®, Diet Coke®, FUZE® Iced Tea, Sprite®, Fanta®, Dasani®, Monster®, Canada Dry®, A&W® products, and more.
