Subway to replace Coca-Cola products with Pepsi starting in 2025

....Subway, the largest fast food chain in the U.S., has announced it will be switching beverage providers from Coca-Cola to PepsiCo beginning next year.

The sandwich restaurant chain signed a 10-year deal with PepsiCo to supply beverages in its U.S. locations starting Jan. 1, 2025, the company announced on Tuesday.

The new agreement will allow Subway to introduce a variety of PepsiCo beverages including Pepsi, Pepsi Zero Sugar, Mountain Dew, Starry, Tropicana, Lipton, Aquafina and a larger selection of Gatorade flavors.

"The new agreement underscores Subway's commitment to delivering better food and a better guest experience, which includes ensuring the brand's beverage offerings align with guest preferences across demographics," Subway said in a press release.

Although Subway will officially switch beverage providers in 2025, the company said the change will take several months to reach all of its U.S. locations.

In addition to the new drink offerings, Subway's partnership with Frito-Lay, a subsidiary of PepsiCo, will also be extended through 2030.

As of January 2024, Subway had 19,573 locations in the U.S. and nearly 37,000 worldwide.......

I thought Pepsi owned Subway via Yum?

I sure don't. But rarely have either. Irrelevant as I do not think I have ever used Subway.

Can definitely taste the difference, but now that it's going to be Pepsi, it would be Mountain Dew for me.

Nope, always been privately held by the founding members and family until now. It was announced last year that it was going to b sold to Roark Capital. Haven't seen a date for when that sale will be completed.

P.S. Pepsi no longer owns Yum! Brands and as far as I can tell has sold off any ownership stake it retained after spinning it off as Tricon in 1997. Only corporate connection now is that Yum! has a lifetime agreement to use Pepsi products to the exclusion of Coca Cola.

Subway was in my commute path and very convenient to stop a grab a foot-long full boat tuna sandwich.

It was a decent sandwich, especially for the money.

Now it's no longer a convenient stop.

I miss that sandwich.
