Culver's dropping Pepsi, Coca-Cola to be new beverage partner
MILWAUKEE - Culver's will be switching from Pepsi to Coca-Cola products for its primary soda fountain options, a company spokesperson told FOX6 News.
The spokesperson said Dr. Pepper, manufactured by parent company Keurig Dr. Pepper in the U.S., will still be available. Culver's Signature Root Beer and Diet Root Beer, as well as sweetened and unsweetened tea, will remain as well.
The change means Culver's restaurants will lose Pepsi, Mountain Dew, Sierra Mist and Tropicana drinks. However, PepsiCo recently announced its plans to replace Sierra Mist with a new brand.
