Auntie Anne's Inc. recently presented our Company with their Strategic Partnership Award for the Company's quality of service and dedication to the growth and prosperity of the world's largest franchisor of hand-rolled soft pretzels. We have been a key strategic partner of Auntie Anne's since 1993 and have played an integral part in the continued success of the brand and the organization.

"We have always strived to be more than a beverage vendor -- our goal is to be a total business partner that supports each of Auntie Anne's strategic business imperatives in a collaborative manner," said Sam Gershenfeld, senior national sales executive, Coca-Cola North America (CCNA). "Auntie Anne's is a true leader and innovator in the foodservice industry and an organization known for high quality standards and integrity."

"Receiving such an honor is special to our team and the Company," continued Gershenfeld. "We look forward to growing our partnership for many years."

In addition, Katherine Gabron, senior customer marketing manager, CCNA, was named the Outstanding Supplier Representative for providing superior service and customer support to Auntie Anne's since 2007.

Auntie Anne's Inc. has more than 1,070 Auntie Anne's Pretzels locations worldwide.
