Dr Pepper will soon disappear from many Coca-Cola -branded soda machines and fountains across the country.
This exit follows Dr Pepper’s termination of a key distribution agreement with Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling, one of Coke’s largest bottlers.
In June, a Texas judge’s ruling allowed Keurig Dr Pepper to end its partnership with Reyes, per Bloomberg News . Reyes currently bottles and distributes Coca-Cola, Monster, and now-former Dr Pepper brands across 10 states, including California. The partnership’s termination went into effect on Oct. 27.
This breakup means that you might notice that some Coca-Cola machines no longer have Dr Pepper syrup starting this week.
Reyes Coca-Cola Bottling wanted the deal to continue, but Dr Pepper decided it’s time to take full control of its own deli
