Cheerwine has roots in Salisbury, where L.D. Peeler created the beverage in 1917 after a salesman from St. Louis sold him a wild cherry flavor that helped him develop the perfect recipe for his soft drink. The Carolina Beverage Corporation and Cheerwine Bottling Co. still produce the beverage, and Cheerwine has become the country’s oldest family-owned soft drink still in business today.
