KFC renunță la Pepsi și trece la rivalul Coca-Cola / Schimbarea se produce din 2027 în restaurantele din SUA

KFC has ended its nearly 40-year partnership with PepsiCo, opting for Coca-Cola as its new beverage supplier in the U.S. This transition will see Coca-Cola products available in KFC's 3,718 U.S. locations by spring 2027. The relationship with PepsiCo began when it acquired KFC in the 1980s, and despite separating restaurant operations in 1997, KFC continued to serve Pepsi drinks. The change reflects broader competitive dynamics in the beverage industry, with Coca-Cola and PepsiCo vying for major restaurant partnerships. PepsiCo's loss comes at a challenging time as it seeks to improve its beverage sales amid rising costs and shifting consumer preferences.
