This new, multi-year partnership features PepsiCo’s comprehensive beverage lineup of carbonated soft drinks including Pepsi and Mountain Dew, Lipton teas, Aquafina, SoBe and Propel waters and Gatorade sports drinks, and Muscle Milk, among others. Specific terms of the deal were not disclosed.
David Singleton, UD vice president for facilities and auxiliary services, said: “Our objective in obtaining this agreement is to maximise the level of service and support for campus vending, retail and concession operations while delivering benefits for UD students. Beyond offering a broad array of beverage choices for our students, faculty, staff and visitors, PepsiCo is also committed to supporting UD’s environmental sustainability efforts and fostering student employment and outreach through Pepsi’s Campus Development Programme.”
As part of the partnership, PepsiCo will be the official beverage provider for UD campus foodservice and PepsiCo brands will be featured in more than 130 on-campus vending machines, all of which meet Energy Star specifications for energy efficiency.
Most PepsiCo vending machines will have card readers for processing debit, credit and (UD1 Flex) i-cards. The partnership also includes on-campus PepsiCo Dream Machine recycling kiosks, which feature a personal reward system that allows students to collect and redeem points for each bottle or can they recycle in the kiosk. Campus retail outlets and athletic venues, including Delaware Stadium, the Bob Carpenter Center and the UD Bookstore will also sell PepsiCo products, and most foodservice outlets will feature compostable cups.
