I believe there's a similar Coke building in Dillon SC. Up the street from the Amtrak station

There is the same tip of building in Palatka, FL the roof sign is gone. They are turning it into a brewery and county dance/restaurant.

Also Aberdeen, NC.  They must have gotten them on sale.

Love it! Of course, they will likely have to take it down since I'm sure it offends someone!

There is a building like that in Shelbyville, Ky. that has been converted to condos.  It has the Coke Cola in concrete over the front door.  I think they call the place "Cola Condominiums."  There are buildings like that all over the country.

Years ago Coca-Cola was bottled locally, by local family owned companies.

Eventually, they chose to sell out to regional etc bottlers.

Some of those families made out with a lot of money when they sold out.

They sure did!

There's also a lovely brick Ford and Fordson tractor dealer building in Sanford NC. Likely dating from the 1920s.
