Coca-Cola renewed its contract with Restaurant Brands International (RBI), securing its presence in Burger King, Popeyes, Tim Hortons, and Firehouse Subs outlets, amplifying marketing support to enhance customer traffic.
It was reported that RBI expects the best from this renewal as it believes this will help the company and its brands in their quest to grow market share in the United States. The partnership between the Toronto, Canada-based restaurant holding firm and The Coca-Cola Company was extended in the U.S. until 2033.
Under the renewed agreement, Coca-Cola will invest in and support the marketing activities of Burger King, Popeyes, Tim Hortons, and Firehouse Subs. This arrangement is designed to help the four RBI restaurants gain more customer traffic in the country and boost franchisees' sales.
On the other hand, Restaurant Brands is also working on its brands' profitability. It is focused on this aspect and has devised its own operational enhancements initiative to reach the goal.
As part of this plan, RBI engages in various investments to help its profitability prospects. The company is also streamlining its food offerings and simplifying its menu boards to make ordering more efficient. These moves are also expected to improve overall customer satisfaction.
"Coca-Cola has proven to be an exceptional partner, and we know our guests in the U.S. love to pair our iconic food offerings with Coca-Cola beverages," RBI's chief executive officer, Josh Kobza, said in a press release. "We are proud to renew our long-standing relationship and work together to grow our market share in the U.S."
Coca-Cola North America's president of RBI global customer team, Amr Kora, also commented, "The Coca-Cola Company has had a strong partnership with Burger King, Popeyes, Firehouse Subs and Tim Hortons for many years, and we are thrilled to renew this strategic partnership in the U.S. for the next 10 years. We take great pride in providing their guests with refreshing beverage options that we know they love and will be a perfect complement to their food."
