Beverage Distribution/Pepsi's Global Market

Expert: Eric Hofer - 4/15/2007


Question
I'm doing a little research on PepsiCo, and I was wondering if you could tell me roughly how many countries Pepsi is currently sold in?

Answer
As far as I know, Pepsico is represented throughout the world barring a few exception (they pulled out of South Africa, but I believe the returned recently, and had the rug pulled out from underneath them in Venezuela, but found another bottler)...

Please check their annual reports for an exact number.
