Answers:
That's a pretty competitive racket. I bet you could find the statistics and other info at Dunn and Bradstreet.
The more competitive the industry, the more important it is to
understand your market. You might consider opening up a niche in the soda business; something that has yet to be done. Most successful businesses monopolize a certain area. Then 20 years down the road, one of the big companies buys you out to get you out of the way. Either that or they develop a similar product and drive you out of business.
