literally never heard of Vernors until at work I had to randomly tell the computer how many of it I had in stock. It isn't sold in New York. Had to literally google it to find out what it is.

Keurig/Dr. Pepper owns Large Red

So they own Big Red, Inc? Cause that's who is listed as the onwer..

 

[O-Blaze]

Owner*

 

[R-Troop]

I mean Wikipedia said it's owned by them

 

[R-Troop]

So I read the whole article. KDP bought a minority share but vends it in 80% of the country.

It says Big Red Inc. on Wikipedia? Dr Pepper is mentioned under distributor. So I'm confused then lmao. Idk.

 

[R-Troop]

In 2007, Big Red Ltd. was purchased by Gary Smith, with backing from Citigroup Venture Capital and Goldman Sachs. Smith serves as the chairman and CEO of Big Red and All Sport, Inc. In 2008, Keurig Dr Pepper purchased a minority interest in Big Red, Inc. Dr Pepper distributes almost 80% of Big Red annually.[11] Although the production facility is still in Waco, Texas, Big Red relocated their corporate headquarters to Austin, Texas, in 2009.

 

[R-Troop]

the blurb at the beginning of the article says he sold the entire business in 2008 to KDP but the article as a whole says minorty share

 

[R-Troop]

Obviously Wiki is not the best source lol

 

[O-Blaze]

So I read the whole article. KDP bought a minority share but vends it in 80% of the country.

So we're both right then it seems.

 

[Chris]

Yeah blaze I was about to come for you bc the top of the wiki article literally say Dr pepper bought them lol

 

[O-Blaze]

See I saw that, but like anything else they own list Keurig Dr Pepper as the manufacturer. so I was confused slightly on the matter since this one didn't.
