slapintheface,

To me your pricing seems high; however if the equipment is owned by the local bottler purchasing from someone other than them will probably cause some issues even if itâ€™s Coke your purchasing.

I'm fortunate to work with Coke National and get national account pricing along with marketing/rebate money based of usage which significantly drops the cost.

I dont know very much about it but Wayne Anderson started the Cinema Buying Group with NATO and I believe there is some kind of concession/syrup program, but I could be wrong.

When I was with Mann Theatres, we were paying $20 a box.

On a side note. During that time we had a chief of staff that worked a deal with the pizza place next to the theatre. The manager had no knowledge of this. But the chief would trade a bag in a box of soda for a large pizza, twice a week. I watched this for a few weeks. I asked him about the deal and he told me. I asked him do you know how much that pizza cost. He said $20 dollars, the amount the company paid for it. Being a former manager, told him what that pizza cost vs. the box of soda. I was the projectionist there, the manager had no clue this was happening there.

Sams club may not carry the syrup on their regular store shelves. It should be available from the cafe' in the store. For that matter, all items that are used in their cafe' operation can be purchased thru them. Items such as, pretzels, pizza crusts, sausage, cheese, hot dogs, anything they use/sell can be bought, usually cheaper than restaurant supplier.
Personally, I like the pretzels they sell in their cafe' here, and have bought hundreds of cases for another business of mine.
