Love Bottling Earns Coca-Cola’s Top Honor With President’s Cup Win

Love Bottling Company has earned the President’s Cup in the Tier 3 category at the Coca-Cola North America Bottler’s Qualifiers’ Weekend, held March 18–22, 2026, in Palm Beach, Florida. The award represents the highest level of performance within the Coca-Cola® bottling system and marks a historic first for the Muskogee-based company.

The President’s Cup is one of the highest honors in the Coca-Cola system, awarded to bottlers that demonstrate consistent performance across their operations. Love Bottling received the award in the Tier 3 category for non-producing bottling distributors, based on its Culture of Quality, Safety, and Environment (QSE).

“To be recognized at this level within the Coca-Cola system is significant—and it speaks to the kind of organization we’ve built,” said Ray Walters, Chief Financial Officer of Love Bottling Company. “This level of focus and discipline didn’t happen overnight. It’s the result of a long-term commitment to operating at the highest standard, and that execution is supported by every member of the Love Bottling family. This recognition belongs to them.”

Over the past year, the company has built on its mission to operate at a higher standard—ensuring every product meets expectations, every employee goes home safe, and every decision reflects the pride behind the Love name.

“Earning the President’s Cup is a reflection of how our team shows up every day—committed to doing the right things, the right way, across every part of our operation,” said Paul Turner, Vice President of Marketing and Sales of Love Bottling Company. “This recognition speaks to the discipline, pride, and accountability our people bring to the job, and it reinforces the standard we’ve set for ourselves moving forward.”
