Consolidated” will be hosting a community function to mark the occasion of renovated “Coca-Cola sign on the historic Patrick Sullivan’s Saloon in the Old City”.

"Randy and I were so thrilled when we were approached by Coca-Cola Bottling Company Consolidated regarding the restoration of the sign on Patrick Sullivan’s. We knew that they would do the best job in restoring this sign, which is so important for this iconic building.”
