Whitbreads’ is a family-owned business that has been crafting hand-made soft drinks and cordials for the Charters Towers, Townsville, and Tropical North Queensland communities since 1896. As the only rural and remote soft drink manufacturer north of Bundaberg, Whitbreads’ has a rich heritage rooted in the gold mining boom of the late 1800s. Today, under the ownership of Ian and Debbie Urquhart, the business continues to uphold its legacy, delivering quality beverages made from original recipes that have stood the test of time.

With a range of classic soft drinks and cordials, including Creaming Soda, Ginger Beer, Kola, and Sarsaparilla, Whitbreads’ remains a beloved local icon. The business also offers slushie machines, ice, and refrigerator hire, supporting businesses, events, and families across North Queensland. Committed to tradition, quality, and community, Whitbreads’ is proud to serve a taste of nostalgia that has connected generations for over a century.
