The recipe for Pepsi, the soft drink, was first developed in the 1880s by a New Bern, North Carolina pharmacist and industrialist, Sony VAIO PCG-5R1M Battery
Caleb Bradham, who named it "Pepsi-Cola" in 1898. As the cola developed in popularity, he created thePepsi-Cola Company in 1902 and registered a patent for his recipe in 1903.[4] The Pepsi-Cola Company was first incorporated in the state of Delaware in 1919.[5] Sony VAIO PCG-7141M Battery
The company went bankrupt in 1931 and on June 8 of that year the trademark and syrup recipe was bought by Charles Guth who owned a syrup manufacturing business in Baltimore, Maryland. Guth was also the president of Loft, Incorporated, a leading candy manufacturer and used the company's labs and chemists to reformulate the syrup. Sony VAIO PCG-7143M Battery
He further contracted to stock the soda in Loft's large chain of candy shops and restaurants, which were known for their soda fountains, used Loft resources to promote Pepsi, and moved the soda company to a location close by Loft's own facilities in New York City. In 1935 the shareholders of Loft sued Guth for his 91% stake of PepsiCo in the landmark Guth v. Sony VAIO PCG-7151M Battery
Loft Inc.. Loft won the suit and on May 29, 1941 formally absorbed Pepsi into Loft, which was then rebranded as Pepsi Cola Company that same year. (Loft restaurants and candy stores were spun off at this time.) In the early 1960s the company product line expanded with the creation of Diet Pepsi and purchase of Mountain Dew.[6] Sony VAIO PCG-7154M Battery
Separately, the Frito Company and H.W. Lay & Company – two American potato and corn chip snack manufacturers – began working together in 1945 with a licensing agreement allowing H.W. Lay to distribute Fritos in the Southeastern United States. The companies merged to become Frito-Lay, Inc. in 1961.[7] Sony VAIO PCG-7162M Battery
In 1965, the Pepsi-Cola Company merged with Frito-Lay, Inc. to become PepsiCo, Inc., the company it is known as at present. At the time of its foundation, PepsiCo was incorporated in the state of Delaware and headquartered in Manhattan, New York. The company's headquarters were relocated to its still-current location of Purchase, Sony VAIO PCG-7181M Battery
New York in 1970,[8] and in 1986 PepsiCo was reincorporated in the state of North Carolina.[5]
PepsiCo was the first company to stamp expiration dates, starting in March 1994.
Between the late-1970s and the mid-1990s, PepsiCo expanded via acquisition of businesses outside of its core focus of packaged food and beverage brands; Sony VAIO PCG-41112M Battery
however it exited these non-core business lines largely in 1997, selling some, and spinning off others into a new company named Tricon Global Restaurants, which later became known as Yum! Brands, Inc..[9] PepsiCo also previously owned several other brands that it later sold so it could focus on its primary snack food and beverage lines, according to investment analysts reporting on the divestments in 1997.[10] Sony VAIO PCG-7153M Battery
Brands formerly owned by PepsiCo include: Pizza Hut,[11] Taco Bell,[11]KFC,[11] Hot 'n Now,[12] East Side Mario's,[13] D'Angelo Sandwich Shops,[14] Chevys Fresh Mex, California Pizza Kitchen,[15] Stolichnaya[16] (via licensed agreement), Wilson Sporting Goods[17] and North American Van Lines.[18] Sony VAIO PCG-71312M Battery
The divestments concluding in 2007 were followed by multiple large-scale acquisitions, as PepsiCo began to extend its operations beyond soft drinks and snack foods into other lines of foods and beverages. PepsiCo purchased the orange juice company Tropicana Products in 1998,[19] Sony VAIO PCG-7144M Battery
and merged with Quaker Oats Company in 2001,[20] adding with it the Gatorade sports drink line and other Quaker Oats brands such as Chewy Granola Bars and Aunt Jemima, among others.[21]
In August 2009, PepsiCo made a $7 billion offer to acquire the two largest bottlers of its products in North America: Pepsi Bottling Group and PepsiAmericas. Sony VAIO PCG-7191L Battery
In 2010 this acquisition was completed, resulting in the formation of a new wholly owned subsidiary of PepsiCo, Pepsi Beverages Company.[22] In February 2011, the company made its largest international acquisition by purchasing a two-thirds (majority) stake in Wimm-Bill-Dann Foods, Sony VAIO PCG-3C1M Battery
a Russian food company that produces milk, yogurt, fruit juices, and dairy products.[23] When it acquired the remaining 23% stake of Wimm-Bill-Dann Foods in October 2011, PepsiCo became the largest food and beverage company in Russia.
In February 2012 ahead, CEO of PepsiCo Inc. plans to cut 8,700 jobs or about 3 percent of the PepsiCo's global workforce and boost marketing spending for its brand by as much as $600 million. It may save about $1.5 billion by 2014. Sony VAIO PCG-3F1M Battery
The Coca-Cola Company has historically been considered PepsiCo's primary competitor in the beverage market,[27] and in December 2005, PepsiCo surpassed The Coca-Cola Company in market value for the first time in 112 years since both companies began to compete. Sony VAIO PCG-3H1M Battery
In 2009, the Coca-Cola Company held a higher market share in carbonated soft drink sales within the U.S.[28] In the same year, PepsiCo maintained a higher share of the U.S. refreshment beverage market, however, reflecting the differences in product lines between the two companies.[28] Sony VAIO PCG-3J1M Battery
As a result of mergers, acquisitions and partnerships pursued by PepsiCo in the 1990s and 2000s, its business has shifted to include a broader product base, including foods, snacks and beverages. The majority of PepsiCo's revenues no longer come from the production and sale of carbonated soft drinks.[29] Sony VAIO PCG-8141M Battery
Beverages accounted for less than 50 percent of its total revenue in 2009. In the same year, slightly more than 60 percent of PepsiCo's beverage sales came from its primary non-carbonated brands, namely Gatorade and Tropicana.[28]
PepsiCo's Frito-Lay and Quaker Oats brands hold a significant share of the U.S. Sony VAIO PCG-8161M Battery
snack food market, accounting for approximately 39 percent of U.S. snack food sales in 2009.[28] One of PepsiCo's primary competitors in the snack food market overall is Kraft Foods, which in the same year held 11 percent of the U.S. snack market share.
PepsiCo's product mix as of 2012 (based on worldwide net revenue) consists of 63 percent foods, and 37 percent beverages.[28] Sony VAIO PCG-3C2M Battery
On a worldwide basis, the company's current products lines include several hundred brands that in 2009 were estimated to have generated approximately $108 billion in cumulative annualretail sales.[30]
