Is Yale Coke or Pepsi?

Published in University Beverages 2 mins read

Yale University is currently a PepsiCo institution, having recently switched its campus-wide beverage deal from Coca-Cola.

The Recent Transition to PepsiCo

As of this year, Yale University has made a notable change in its primary beverage provider. The University transitioned its beverage agreement from Coca-Cola to PepsiCo, making PepsiCo products the predominant offering across campus. This shift came after a three-year extended agreement with Coca-Cola, which was in place from 2020 to 2023.

The new contract with PepsiCo brought swift and comprehensive changes to the University's beverage-dispensing infrastructure. This means that facilities such as dining halls and other campus venues now feature PepsiCo brands.

To illustrate the recent change, here is a brief overview of Yale's beverage affiliations:

2020 - 2023 Coca-Cola
Current (2023 onwards) PepsiCo

Implications of the Change on Campus

The transition to PepsiCo has several direct impacts on the university environment:

  • Dining Hall Offerings: University dining halls have updated their selections, now exclusively stocking a range of PepsiCo beverages.
  • Beverage Availability: Students, faculty, and staff will find Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Gatorade, and other popular PepsiCo-owned brands widely available across campus facilities.
  • Infrastructure Updates: The change necessitated modifications to existing beverage dispensers and equipment throughout the University to accommodate PepsiCo products.

This strategic partnership ensures that PepsiCo will be the primary beverage supplier for Yale University for the foreseeable future.
