Coca-Cola has sued Vue Entertainment after the cinema chain ended their 25-year partnership and switched to PepsiCo as its soft drinks supplier.
Coca-Cola Europacific Partners Great Britain filed legal action to recover alleged unpaid debts following the contract’s termination. Vue operates more than 90 cinemas in the UK and Ireland and selected PepsiCo as its exclusive supplier until at least 2030.
Vue’s founder, Tim Richards, criticised the move, saying the dispute could have been resolved without lawyers. Vue later confirmed the case had been withdrawn, stating no money is now outstanding and the disputed sum was under £100,000.
