History
Many of PepsiCo's brand names are more
than 100-years-old, but the corporation is relatively young.
PepsiCo was founded in 1965 through the merger of Pepsi-Cola
and Frito-Lay. Tropicana was acquired in 1998 and PepsiCo merged
with The Quaker Oats Company, including Gatorade, in 2001.
PepsiCo's snack food operations had their
start in 1932 when two separate events took place. In San Antonio,
TX, Elmer Doolin bought the recipe for an unknown food product
-- a corn chip -- and started an entirely new industry. The product
was Fritos brand corn chips, and his firm became the Frito Company.
That same year in Nashville, TN, Herman
W. Lay started a business distributing potato chips. Mr. Lay
later bought the company that supplied him with product and changed
its name to H.W. Lay Company. The Frito Company and H.W. Lay
Company merged in 1961 to become Frito-Lay, Inc.PepsiCo's beverage
business was founded 1898 by Caleb Bradham, a New Bern, North
Carolina druggist, who first formulated Pepsi-Cola.
