COKE BOTTLERS SUE OVER POWERADE TEST
ATLANTA - About 50 small Coke bottlers sued the soda maker and its biggest bottler, Coca-Cola Enterprises, both based here, to oppose plans to expand a test of a warehouse distribution system of Powerade sports drink to Wal-Mart. Wal-Mart requested the switch from direct store delivery to a warehouse model, which is used by PepsiCo-owned Gatorade. Bottlers worry switching from DSD would force them to consolidate, analysts said.
