Introduction This book, now in its Thirteenth Edition, is a detailed look at the Pepsi bottling system in the United States. In addition to our annual territory map (included in this book), Beverage Digest has gathered the following for the U.S. Pepsi bottlers: headquarters locations, contact information and key executives; production locations and contact information. Plus, we have produced multi-faceted color maps showing: 1) an updated list of the top-10
bottlers and a map of their territories; 2) a map of the production per capita for the top-10 bottlers; 3) updates to where the largest bottler, Pepsi Bottling Company, carries Dr Pepper and where they compete with the top Coke bottlers; 4) the latest directory of U.S. Pepsi bottlers, including: headquarters location, contact details and key executives; 5) the complete listing of Pepsi plants across the U.S., including ownership and location information. All of the maps in this book are produced using software that pinpoints territory boundaries down to the Zip Code level, allowing for precision of information and an array of possible uses. If you have any questions about the content of this book or would like more information about the U.S. bottling systems, please contact us:
