“The Gallup market is part of our history. I was born in Gallup and my father distributed Coca-Cola here in the 50s and 60s. We look forward to serving these communities again,” said Don Mapel, President of Durango Coca-Cola.
The Mapel family has owned and operated the business for more than 75 years.
