Buffalo Rock Company
 PROFILE
Buffalo Rock's bottling operations rock around the clock. The innovative Pepsi bottler distributes soft drinks for others, including Cadbury Schweppes and Mountain Valley, as well as its own brands. It is credited with several industry firsts, including three-liter plastic bottles and 12- and 20-ounce plastic bottles. The bottler has 14 distribution facilities serving folks in Alabama, Florida, and Georgia. Grocer Sidney Lee got into the beverage business in the late 1800s by making the ginger ale that gave the company its name. Buffalo Rock began bottling Pepsi products in the 1950s. The Lee family owns and runs the company, which also has a vending and food service operation and owns two public golf courses.
