Coke moves formula to World of Coca-Cola

Coca-Cola's secret formula has found a new home at the World of Coca-Cola, the Atlanta company's downtown attraction.

In a ceremony with videos, singers and top state and local officials, including Gov. Nathan Deal and Mayor Kasim Reed, the beverage maker Thursday unveiled the vault now holding the 125-year-old formula.

The vault, the size and security details of which are as secret as the contents it holds, is part of an expansion of the World of Coca-Cola. The company would not divulge details of the expansion, including how much it cost.

Chief Executive Officer Muhtar Kent, who led tours of the new space for bottlers, the family of Coca-Cola founder Asa Candler and Martin Luther King III, said the forumla was moved at the request of Coke's board.

The formula had been housed at SunTrust since 1925.
