Who is Harbor Pacific Bottling, Inc.?
Harbor Pacific Bottling, Inc. is a proud independent Pepsi-Cola franchisee doing business in Grays Harbor and Pacific Counties in Southwest Washington. In 1957, Bill Martin at the age of 23, took the cash value from a small life insurance policy and along with his partners Herb Gedney (a family friend), Norval Martin (Bill's uncle), and Paul Martin (Bill's father) formed the company. Bill and Herb moved from The Dalles, Oregon to Aberdeen, WA to run the business.
For many of the early years, the beverage business was a difficult proposition but through hard work, diligence, good luck and a dedicated staff, Harbor Pacific Bottling, Inc. has become the market leader in their territory.
Today, the business ownership is transitioning from Bill and Joan Martin to their children, Shawn, Kelly, Patty and Tim. Together with an outstanding staff, they look forward to continuing and expanding the successes Harbor Pacific has enjoyed.
