The Nehi Bottling Company arrived in El Paso in 1931. A decade later the owners renamed the company Nehi-Royal Crown to reflect its popular cola drink. The name, Nehi, was dropped in favor of its younger, still more popular RC Cola in 1965. In 1970 the company merged with The Seven- Up Bottling Company of El Paso (in business in El Paso since 1937) to join forces against the two giants of the industry, Coke (Magnolia Coca-Cola Co.) and Pepsi (Woodlawn Bottling Co.), who were engulfing the sales market. The growing company bought out the Canada Dry Bottling Company that had been in business since 1948. The triple company was in turn swallowed by a newcomer to El Paso, Kalil Bottling Company of Tucson, Arizona, the firm that continues to distribute products from all three sources in 1997.
