MUSEUM WORTHY SALES AWARD FROM COCA-COLA PRESIDENT TO McDONALD'S ACCOUNT GROUP 100+ MILLION GALLON AWARD MAY 1, 1996 AWARD TO McDONALD’S ACCOUNT GROUP FROM M. DOUGLAS IVESTER – PRESIDENT, COCA-COLA COMPANY HUGE specially commissioned Award of Etched Stone and Glass Feels like it weighs “a ton”…but is an impressive 25 pounds (approx.) A Museum-Quality commemorative of the Coca-Cola & McDonald’s partnership that dates back to 1955 Celebrates an historic Milestone for Coca-Cola and McDonald’s This offer to acquire may be a “Once in a lifetime” opportunity HISTORICAL BACKGROUND & size, longevity, and iconic cultural partnership of Coca-Cola and McDonald’s is unequalled in the Food & Beverage industry. What began as a business partnership, has become an American cultural icon. Back in 1955, McDonald’s founder Ray Kroc was looking for a soda supplier and called Waddy Pratt, head of Coke’s fountain division. They “hit it off”, shook hands on a partnership, and the rest – as they say – is history. Through time – as McDonald’s expanded globally – Coca Cola offered its offices throughout the world for McDonald’s to use as bases for planning. As reported in the New York Times in 2014, McDonald’s was so important to Coca-Cola that it created (at the time) the ONLY division devoted to a single customer. So you can imagine the milestone that 100+ Million Gallons of Coca-Cola sold by McDonald’s meant. No cost was spared in the design and creation of this impressive award from M. Douglas Ivester (President, The Coca-Cola Company in 1996 and Chairman & CEO 1997-2000). In sum, this is a historic milestone creation that any McDonald’s or Coca-Cola collector would cherish…and a very difficult (perhaps impossible) treasure for any other collector to match. To be sure, it will be a true “holy grail” addition to any collection focused on either American brand icon.
