...success of Frito Lay is a tribute to two entrepreneur’s dreams. In 1932, C.E. Doolin purchased a bag of corn chips in a café in San Antonio, Texas. He learned that the chips manufacturer was selling his business so he purchased the recipe and began selling Fritos Corn Chip. Meanwhile, that same year, Herman W. Lay began his potato chip business in Nashville by delivering snack foods. He then purchased the manufacturer, and the H.W. Lay & Company was formed. It soon became one of the largest snack food companies in the Southeast, and LAY'S brand Potato Chips is still America's favorite potato chip. In 1961, the Frito Company and the H.W. Lay Company merged to become Frito-Lay, Inc. Today, Frito-Lay brands account for 59% of the U.S. snack chip industry. In 1965, Frito-Lay, Inc. merged with the Pepsi-Cola Company and formed PepsiCo, Inc. Since that time, Frito-Lay has operated as a wholly owned subsidiary of PepsiCo. Through Frito-Lay, PepsiCo is the largest globally distributed snack food company in the world. The primary snack food brands produced under the Frito-Lay name include Fritos corn chips, Cheetos cheese-flavored snacks, Doritos and Tostitos tortilla chips, Lay's potato chips. Something wonderful—a company that’s all about good fun—doing good things when it comes to making snacks and caring for the environment. This is the company vision of Frito Lay. For more than 75 years, they have been making snacks, starting with simple, farm-grown ingredients. Frito Lay continues...

...Stracuzzi Columbia Southern University Enter Sun Chips Frito Co. was founded in 1932 by C.E. Doolin in Dallas, Texas. This same year Herman W. Lays begins his path down the snack chip path in Nashville, Tennessee (“Frito-Lay Corporation,” n.d.). In 1945, their paths merge into a business agreement to sell each other’s chips in their respective areas. These two companies merged in 1961 to become Frito-Lay, Inc. Only four years later, in 1965, Frito-Lay, Inc. became a division of Pepsi Co. (“Our vision,” n.d.a). Frito-Lay has become one of the world’s prominent producers and venders of snack chips. Some of their snack brands include: Baken-Ets, Cheester’s Fries, Cheetos, Cracker Jack, Cracker Jack’d, Doritos, Fritos, Funyuns, Grandma’s, Islen, Lay’s, Matador, Maui Style, Mrs. Vickie’s, Munchos, OvenBaked, Ready to go Snacks, Rold Gold, Ruffles, Sabritones, Santitas, Simply, Smartfood Popcorn, Stacy’s, SunChips, and Tostitos (“Full brand list,” n.d.b.). Frito-Lay also produces nuts, dips, and peanut butter crackers (Kerin & Peterson, 2013). Frito-Lay not only manufactures the snack foods, but has a hand in every stage of the process. The corporation has a potato breeding operation located in Rhinelander, Wisconsin. Their goal is to produce a superior potato variety for chipping (“Frito Lay Agricultural Research,” n.d.). They receive potatoes from roughly 80 different potato farms. They have 29 plants in 15 states (“Frito-Lay Plant locations,” 2013). The company also is involved...

...Article 2 Sustainable Plant of the Year: Frito-Lay Casa Grande Plant Attains Near Net Zero Efficiency was built into Frito-Lay’s Casa Grande plant a quarter-century ago, but the snack maker takes the facility’s energy- and water-conservation systems to a new level with near net zero. Is it feasible for food or beverage production ever to be resource neutral, consuming no more gas, electricity, water and other utilities than what it generates itself? Perhaps theoretically, but not as a practical matter. Still, placing sustainable manufacturing in the context of assuring resource availability so operational capabilities are maintained, regardless of external disruptions, is intriguing. What would a food plant with net-zero impact look like? A close proximity sprawls across 283 acres of the Sonoran desert in Arizona. Part learning lab, part sustainability showcase, the Frito-Lay facility in Casa Grande is the focus of the snack food manufacturer’s ambitious goal of creating a blueprint for sustained production in a resource-strapped tomorrow. Most of the energy-generation and water-reclamation technology in Casa Grande can be found elsewhere in the Frito-Lay production network, but never before has such a comprehensive infrastructure been created. The result is a plant that pushes the limits of what is possible in energy and water self-sufficiency. Selection of Casa Grande came after an assessment of Frito-Lay’s 37 US facilities by the US Department of Energy’s National Renewable...

...he green movement is becoming more and more popular in the past few years. Noticeable rising temperatures have sparked awareness in people that waste is bad and could be in fact destroying the Earth which is out home and very much needed to continue living. Lately, it has become more popular to recycle, but better yet, it is more popular to use “green” products. Companies have started to use this newfound interest in the environment as a way to change their product to become better for the world. For example, water bottles now use less plastic than before to be more “green”, hybrid cars are designed to work more on electricity instead of gas so less fumes are emitted. While these products could be helpful with cutting down on the damage we humans put on the Earth with the amount of pollution caused daily, the green movement has initiated some deceptive advertising; big surprise there. Greenwashing, or “green sheen” is “a form of spin in which green PR or green marketing is deceptively used to promote the perception that an organization’s aim and policies are environmentally friendly.” It is a manipulative form of advertisement to make buyers believe a company’s objective is different from reality and it is becoming more and more popular. The term started in 1986 with an environmentalist named Jay Westervelt who wrote an essay about hotels that practice making cards in hotel rooms encouraging customers to be environmentally friendly and reuse towels.

...CEO had to face to remain profitable. I will summarize each video and outline the corporate strategy used by the CEOs. Coca-Cola Nevelle Isdel never aspired to become CEO of the company, he just wanted to do the job he was hired to do. Mr. Isdel retired to the south of France in 2001 after 35 years with Coca-Cola. The board asked him to return after the two prior CEOs were unsuccessful. They wanted him to focus on driving sales and concentrate on acquiring new brands. In his plan to drive the company forward, Mr. Isdel did not feel the need to venture into the same businesses as his competitor, Pepsi. Pepsi had branched out from carbonated drinks to snacks foods like Frito-Lay. Mr. Isdel decided to remain faithful to the brand and introduced two new beverages, Coke Black, and a carbonated green tea, Enviga. Mr. Isdel's degree in social work shows he has compassion, and that spans across the work he does as an activist and within the community.

...Pepsi’s Strategy in the Carbonated Soft Drinks Market Term Project MAN 385 Prof. Preston McAfee Prepared by: Valentin Angelkov Tray Black Angie Green Jerry James Erin Lutz April 30, 2003 Introduction The following paper analyzes how PepsiCo can increase profitability in the carbonated soft drink (CSD) industry. The industry is a tight oligopoly with Pepsi and its chief competitor, Coca Cola, comprising 70% of the total market. 1 Global beverage sales for PepsiCo in 2000 were $7.6 billion; however, sales growth has averaged only three to four percent in mature markets such as North America2. PepsiCo and Coke have expanded into other ready to drink beverages such as bottled water, tea, and juices in order to counter this low growth in the CSD industry; for the purpose of this paper, however, we will focus on how to affect profitability in the CSD industry. In particular, the paper will examine how current actions by PepsiCo regarding differentiation, pricing, cooperation, and complements have affected their profitability in the CSD industry. Furthermore, the paper will give specific recommendations, with an emphasis on cooperation tactics and complements. Industry Overview The industry for carbonated soft drinks is characterized by the following five forces: Threat of New Entrants – Currently, the biggest threat of entry faced by the majors is from private label manufacturers such as Cott Corporation. Private labels now hold an 8.1% share in the CSD market, the majority...
