Coca‑Cola to Roll Out 7.5‑Ounce Mini Cans in U.S. Convenience Stores Next Year

The company targets affordability to recruit new buyers, with cane sugar glass bottles slated for later this year.

Overview

  • Single-serve 7.5‑ounce cans will enter U.S. convenience stores early next year at a $1.29 suggested price.
  • Each can contains about 90 calories compared with 240 calories in a 20‑ounce bottle commonly sold in the channel.
  • Joel Bishop, Coca‑Cola’s North America commercial chief, said the push focuses on affordability and recruitment.
  • Core flavors will include Coca‑Cola, Coke Zero Sugar, Cherry Coke, Sprite and Fanta, with Diet Coke offered in regions where it is popular.
  • Coca‑Cola will also introduce glass bottles sweetened with cane sugar later this year, responding to consumer taste preferences.
