THE iconic Coca-Cola truck is set to stop off at Cheshire Oaks in Ellesmere Port this year.
It will roll into town on December 13 and 14 when locals will be able to grab a festive photo and enjoy a free Coke Zero drink.
This year Coca-Cola has partnered with Crisis - the national homelessness charity, which is now in its 52nd year. The company will donate 10p for every can recycled by visitors at the truck tour.
Kenny Murray, General Manager at the designer outlet, said: "The holidays are most certainly coming at McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Cheshire Oaks this year, as we welcome the iconic Coca-Cola truck to the centre.
"We are delighted to be one of the key locations for the tour and proud to be supporting the work Coca-Cola is doing for Crisis at such an important time of the year.”
Kris Robbens, marketing director at Coca-Cola Great Britain and Ireland, said: “Christmas is all about sharing special moments with friends and loved ones and we’re looking forward to spreading the festive cheer across Great Britain again this year with our iconic Coca-Cola Christmas Truck Tour.
“Whilst Christmas is a moment of celebration, it’s also incredibly important to remember those that need support throughout the season. So, we’re really pleased to partner with Crisis and whilst guests at the tour enjoy a refreshing Coca-Cola zero sugar, when they recycle their can, they’ll be helping to support an amazing charity.”
Jon Sparkes, chief executive at Crisis, added: “Everyone in our society should have a safe and secure home. But right now, many people are denied this basic human need. None of us should be facing the prospect of a Christmas without a home.
“We know that ending homelessness is absolutely possible. We’re delighted to be working with Coca-Cola throughout its iconic Christmas Truck Tour and receiving a donation that will help us to continue to be there for the people that need us, both at Christmas and all year round.”
