Philadelphia Soda Tax Crushes Soft Drink Sales

Philadelphia Soda Tax Crushes Soft Drink Sales. What the libtards jack up must go down. Real easy to drive to another city or over to NJ to stock up on soda without paying extra. They passed this in the People’s Republik of Berkely awhile back. It’s real easy to walk across the street to Albany or Emeryville and buy your soda there for less.

Philadelphia’s six-week-old tax on sweetened beverages is already taking a toll on drink distributors and grocers, with some reporting sales drops of as much as 50 percent.
Canada Dry Delaware Valley — a local distributor of Canada Dry Ginger Ale, Sunkist, A&W Root Beer, Arizona Iced Tea and Vita Coco — said business fell 45 percent in Philadelphia in the first five weeks of 2017, compared with the same period last year. Total revenue at Brown’s Super Stores, which operates 12 ShopRite and Fresh Grocer supermarkets, fell 15 percent at its six retailers in the city.
“In 30 years of business, there’s never been a circumstance in which we’ve ever had a sales decline of any significant amount,” said Jeff Brown, chief executive officer of Brown’s Super Stores. “I would describe the impact as nothing less than devastating.”
