The A-Treat Bottling Company (1918-2015) at 2001 Union Boulevard manufactured and bottled the A-Treat brand of carbonated soft drinks. A-Treat beverages had limited distribution throughout Pennsylvania, Maryland, New Jersey, and as far away as Bermuda.
A-Treat was formally established in 1918 by Joseph C. and John L. ("Jack") Egizio. Their father, Gioacchino Egizio, started a beverage business in the family home in the 600 block of Front Street in Allentown, and later built a small manufacturing facility behind the home. Their mother, Vincenza Munjone, also came from a family involved in the beverage business in Allentown. In 1932, the Egizio brothers moved the business to Union Boulevard in East Allentown.
The company distinguished itself by producing sodas in the traditional manner (e.g., using essential oils and cane sugar, rather than extracts and high fructose corn syrup). As of the final production, the company used both cane sugar syrup and high fructose corn syrup. A-Treat produced soft drinks in at least 16 flavors.
The company announced its closure on 23 January 2015. In July, 2015, the assets of the company were purchased by the Jaindl Companies and it was announced that production of A-Treat products would be marketed. Production is now conducted by a third party and the former plant on Union Boulevard was sold to other owners.
