The University of Manitoba has signed a partnership deal with Coca-Cola Canada until 2021.
The multi-year agreement will provide the campus with cold beverage services, building on Coca-Cola’s presence in the province for nearly 100 years.
The partnership includes the Fort Garry Campus, Bannatyne Campus, the University of Manitoba Students’ Union, St. Paul’s College, St. Andrews College and St. John’s College.
Among the changes with Coke’s new contract are a new interactive vending machine in University Centre and the ability to use both credit and debit forms of payment to make purchases in all machines. The vending machines will be installed on both campuses over the summer.
