Awards & Recognition

Five best-in-class Pepsi franchises are finalists for PBNAs prestigious Donald M. Kendall Bottler of the Year Award. Named for PepsiCo’s beloved former Chairman and CEO, and dedicated to our independent bottling partners, no greater honor is bestowed within the Blue System. Being selected as a DMK BOY finalist distinguishes these teams as the very best of the best, driving the Pepsi Spirit with extraordinary zeal and expertise. By almost any measure – volume and share growth, per capita consumption, product quality, customer service and community involvement – these five bottling partners have delivered outstanding results, making us “locally even better.”
