Bink's Coca-Cola was founded as Bink's
Wholesale Liquor and Supply Company on October 10, 1903 by Nicholas A. Bink.
In December, 1921, the company became The City Bottling Works.
The second generation of ownership was with Nicholas J.
Bink, the founder’s son. Bink's Coca-Cola Bottling Company began selling
Coca-Cola in 1931 and purchased the Coca-Cola franchise for Delta and Schoolcraft
counties in 1936. In 1961, Bink's purchased the franchise to sell Coca-Cola
in Dickinson, Iron, and part of Florence, Menomonee and Marinette Counties.
Robert N. Bink, the founder’s grandson is the current
president of Bink's Coca-Cola. He represents the third generation in the family
business. Robert has continued to provide growth to the Coca-Cola business
and has maintained the status of being a Coca-Cola Bottler.

Nicholas R. Bink, general sales manager for Bink's Coca-Cola, is the fourth
generation in the business. Nick has continued to provide growth and superior
service to Coca-Cola customers. As a father and son venture, Robert and Nick
have recently partnered to form Bink's Wines & Beverages. This new Bink
enterprise currently services five counties in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan
with fine wines from around the world.
