Crows Nest Soft Drinks is expanding and moving to a new building.

IT'S been operating continuously in the region for 114 years and now this company is ready for an expansion.

Drinks company Crows Nest Soft Drinks gained planning approval from Toowoomba Regional Council yesterday to set up shop in a new building.

The company will relocate all its equipment about June or July, with the transition expected to take about a month.

Murray Rosenberg, who co-owns the business with Alex Davidson, said the business had been operating from its current site at 22 Toowoomba Rd, Crows Nest for about 50 years.

With business booming, they set out to find a bigger site and settled on 8 Charlotte St, Crows Nest.

The building adjoins a local heritage place, the National Australia Bank, but as the company does not plan to build or alter the building in any great way, that hurdle was overcome after discussions with council planners.

The soft drink company produces about 200,000 bottles each year with 16 different flavours.

It supplies soft drinks and flavoured syrups through the Toowoomba region and Australia, mostly to cafes, boutique stories, corner stores and IGAs.

"Ours is an old-fashioned flavour and we're not looking to compete with Coca Cola or PepsiCo in the big supermarkets," Mr Rosenberg said.

The two men took over the business in December 2014 when it was on the brink of closing.

Mr Rosenberg said they had to fix "a lot of things" but the future was now looking bright.

Both men have worked in the Toowoomba region for decades and Mr Rosenberg was raised in Toowoomba.

The business is open to the public and sells drinks straight from the production line.

Mr Rosenberg said he would inform the public once a date was settled.

The sale of the building has not been settled yet.
