PepsiCo to consider entering alcoholic beverages business
"We will make decisions in the coming quarters - whether this is an area where PepsiCo wants to play," Chief Executive Officer Ramon Laguarta said
PepsiCo Inc will consider introducing alcoholic beverages, the company said on Thursday, days after rival Coca-Cola Co decided to launch an alcoholic sparkling water in the United States next year.
"We will make decisions in the coming quarters - whether this is an area where PepsiCo wants to play," Chief Executive Officer Ramon Laguarta said on an analyst call when asked about following Coca-Cola.
Molson Coors Beverage Co said on Tuesday it partnered with Coca-Cola Co to make and sell an alcoholic version of the beverage company's Topo Chico sparkling water.
