First Posting for Cott

I chose Cott Corporation to use as my journal for this class since it relates to the industry my team chose for the industry analysis project. Cott Corporation is one of the globe's biggest non-alcoholic beverage companies. Cott has presence in several countries, however their main markets consist of the following: the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Mexico. Cott includes my ultimate all time favorite soft drink in their product line, RC Cola. My grandaddy drank RC Cola with me as a child and has sentimental value to me. The company's product line also includes flavored waters, juices, smoothies, and energy drinks just to name a few.

Interesting fact -- Cott was the first company to introduce a diet soda.

Cott's stock closed at $5.60 on May 28th, 2009. The company's ticker symbol is COT.

  1. I think it is interesting you chose the maker of RC. I am from Henderson and everything there is RC. You go into any restaurant and they don't serve pepsi or coke they serve RC. You go to a ball game they serve RC products. One thing that interest me about this company is how they are so well known by where they are located, but the further away from the location you go the fewer RC's you see.
