The Hattiesburg Coca-Cola Bottling Company was founded in May 1906. The original location was on Second Street, but in 1915 it moved to 126 Market Street.[1] The building operated as a Coca-Cola bottling plant until 1960. Years later a bar and restaurant known as The Bottling Company opened, but later closed in June 2010[2]. Later another restaurant, called The Shed Barbeque and Blues at The Bottling Company, opened in October 2010[3][4], but closed a couple years later. In May 2014 the building reopened as an event hosting venue.[5]
