Coca Cola’s recipe is one of the best kept business secrets of the past decade. Competitors have tried to imitate and mimic the taste and flavor of Coca Cola, but they’ve failed over and over. The company tries hard to keep the secret hidden. There is a myth that only 2 people have ever seen the secret formula. But no matter how many people have seen the formula, one thing is certain, the company has gone above and beyond to protect the recipe from prying eyes. In fact, the company has its own high-tech vault that holds the recipe. So, where is this precious vault located?
The Vault
The vault is located into a museum in Atlanta. The World of Coca Cola museum was opened for the public on May 24, 2007. There are many World of Coca Cola stores around the world, but only the one in Atlanta is a museum showcasing the complete history of the company.
The museum is home of the high-tech vault that holds the original recipe. The museum is a 20-acre complex located across Baker Street. The company’s headquarters is located at Pemberton Place.
Visitors to the museum can taste 60 different flavors from around the world. In addition to housing the secret formula, the museum also has fully-functional bottling line producing 8-ounce bottles that visitors can keep as souvenirs.

Relocation
The secret formula was kept in SunTrustBanks Inc, under lock and key since 1925. But for the company’s 125th anniversary, the Coca Cola risked taking the ultra-secret recipe out of the vault and put it on display at the World of Coca Cola museum.
The formula dates back to 1886. The secret formula is enclosed inside a metal box. The box is also locked inside a high-tech vault. That means that visitors hoping to get a glimpse out of the formula will be disappointed.
The SunTrust bank provided underwriting services to Coca Cola in 1919, when the company went public. The bank received some of the first stocks, and at one time held more than 48 million shares.
