Peeler in 1917, Cheerwine is a Piedmont-produced and distributed soda based in Salisbury, North Carolina. Famous for its distinct cherry flavor and burgundy color, Cheerwine has enjoyed tremendous popularity among many North Carolinians though its reception and distribution outside the state has been limited. The beverage, named "cheer" for the pleasure it induces and "wine" for its deep red color inspired the companys first slogan: "For health and pleasure." * Though Cheerwine was invented 1917, the story of the drink began four years prior. After buying into a Kentucky-based bottling company named Mint-Cola Bottling, Peeler and other investors opened a local franchise of the company near the railroad line of Salisbury, North Carolina. When the Mint-Cola Bottling filed for bankruptcy, Peeler bought the franchise and used it to found the Carolina Beverage Corporation. Soon after, Peeler set out to develop a drink with a unique taste, yet one that required less sugar - a significant concern for other beverage producers during the sugar shortage of the day. According to the Cheerwine Company, a salesman from St. Louis approached Peeler and sold him a formula for a wild cherry beverage that met Peelers needs. After some adjustments, Cheerwine was born, and later that year, it was sold to North Carolinians. As the companys success grew, Mr. Peeler had the CHEERWINE trademark registered in 1926. Peeler knew he was onto something special and started focusing on the companys future. In 1927 he started another bottling company in Charlotte, NC (which was later sold to Sun-Drop Bottling in 1976) that helped extend the market. Sadly, in 1931 Mr. Peeler passed away, leaving a strong foundation to build upon. He left his vision with his son Mr. C.A. Peeler who, like his father, had the same passion and good business sense to keep CHEERWINE moving forward. Mr. C.A. Peeler worked hard to increase production and expand the product to other areas of North Carolina. * Chief Executive Officer of Carolina Beverage Corporation Mark Ritchie and CEO Clifford Ritchie of Cheerwine Bottling, brothers and descendants of L.D. Peeler, continue the daily operations of the soda today. * Cheerwine: Called the "Nectar of North Carolina" ***
