Love Bottling Company Signs with NSU as Exclusive Provider

TAHLEQUAH The dog days of summer at Northeastern State University just got a little more refreshing thanks to an agreement signed with Love Bottling Company of Muskogee. As the exclusive beverage supplier for Northeastern State University, Love Bottling will provide Coca-Cola, Dr Pepper, Sprite, and a variety of other drink choices for all three NSU campuses.

"Northeastern is very excited about its new partnership with Love Bottling Company," said NSU President Dr. Larry Williams. "Great things can happen when local partners team up and the NSU community can expect to enjoy the rewards of this partnership on many levels."

In addition to Coca-Cola, Dr Pepper, and Sprite soft drinks, NSU students, faculty, and staff can enjoy Dasani water, Minute Maid natural juices, and Power-ade sports drinks. A plan is in the works to sell NSU-labeled water at University events and in local businesses. A portion of the proceeds from water sales will benefit the NSU Foundation, which provides University scholarships, alumni support, and financial assistance to University projects.

"We're very excited to be a part of the Northeastern community," said Joe Harrison, Love Bottling Company vice president of Sales. "As the exclusive beverage supplier for NSU, not only are we able to get our product to a large number of buyers, but we're able to help support an institution that gives back so much to the community."

A family business founded in 1919, the Love Bottling Company serves eastern Oklahoma as a local production, packaging, and distribution company for Coca-Cola and Dr Pepper. The company carries more than 100 types of beverage products including Coca-Cola, Dr Pepper, and Sprite soft drinks, water, natural juices, and sports drinks.
