In 1899, James E. Crass saved money from his jobs and purchased a small Coca-Cola bottling plant in Charleston, South Carolina. After Crass’ business quickly outgrew the small plant, he moved to Richmond, Virginia to build a larger plant. Crass grew his Coca-Cola conglomeration into 42 franchises across multiple states. At the time of his death in 1930, Crass was one of the most successful owners in the Coca-Cola franchise network and even produced his own brand of soda.
