Coors's Plans for Multisite Expansion As Coors began its national rollout, concern about the million barrel ceiling on capacity at the Golden site and about the increase in shipping distances prompted it to study a second site. By 1979, it had identified two possible locations one in Rockingham County, Virginia on the Shenandoah River and the other in Anson County, North Carolina on the Pee Dee River. In 1981, it completed the acquisition of 2,100 acres of land in Rockingham County. And in August 1985, it amounced plans to construct a 10 million barrel brewery there.
