    PepsiCo Secures 11-Year Exclusive Taco Bell Beverage Deal Through 2036

    Question

    PepsiCo Secures 11-Year Exclusive Taco Bell Beverage Deal Through 2036

    Direct answer

    PepsiCo confirmed an 11-year extension of its exclusive pouring rights agreement with Yum! Brands subsidiary Taco Bell, keeping the brand's beverages in U.S. and overseas locations through 2036. The agreement cements high-volume on-premise syrup sales for over a decade. The long-term renewal provides operational relief for PepsiCo after the recent loss of Yum's KFC account to Coca-Cola. Locking down Taco Bell preserves a marquee restaurant channel and curbs competitive displacement in food service fountain channels.
