Fountain dispensers bring affordable Coca-Cola products to KFC patrons

Lusaka, Zambia  – Zambians can now enjoy their favourite Coca-Cola products in a more affordable and flexible way, thanks to the launch of fountain dispensers by Coca-Cola Beverages Zambia (CCBZ) at KFC’s East Park and Twin Palms branches. 

This marks the first time Coca-Cola Beverages Africa (CCBA) has introduced fountain dispensers outside of South Africa, with Botswana and Lesotho set to follow later this year. 

Fountain dispensers offer customisable sizes, refill options and greater value, making it easier for consumers to enjoy Coca-Cola products alongside their KFC meals. The innovation is designed to enhance the consumer experience while expanding access to the Coca-Cola portfolio. 

This launch strengthens the partnership between CCBZ, a company in the CCBA group, and its customer KFC. 

“CCBZ is a customer-obsessed, digitally enabled, growth-driven business. We strive for excellence across our value chain and partner with our customers for growth,” said General Manager for CCBZ, Josphat Mwangi. 

“It is about ensuring we have the right products, in the right places, with the right offering and the right channels, grounded in data-driven insights that identify opportunities and the optimal portfolio strategy,” said Mwangi.  

KFC Zambia also welcomed the innovation.  

“At KFC, we are constantly looking for ways to delight our customers to bring them unforgettable finger lickin’ good experiences,” said Grant Macpherson, Chief Marketing & Digital Officer for KFC Africa. “This partnership with Coca-Cola Beverages Africa helps us to serve up customers’ favourite beverages tailored to their specific preference and what they want to spend. It’s a win-win situation for everyone.”
