Not only does Coca-Cola have some of the best brands in the world, the company also has one of the best distribution networks in the world. This is a competitive advantage that protects Coca-Cola from upstarts, but also provides a great business opportunity. That is because the distribution network enables Coca-Cola to invest in small but promising brands, fit the brands into Coca-Cola's distribution networks, and reap the rewards for years to come. Coca-Cola has done this with Honest Tea, Hansen's Natural Sodas, Monster Beverage, Keurig Green Mountain, and, most recently, McCloskey Select Farms.
