Where is PepsiCo headquartered?

PepsiCo is headquartered in Purchase, New York. The company’s global headquarters are located in the hamlet of Purchase, within the town of Harrison in Westchester County.

PepsiCo was formed in 1965 through the merger of Pepsi-Cola and Frito-Lay. Although Pepsi-Cola began in New Bern, North Carolina, and the company has operations around the world, its corporate headquarters are in the New York metropolitan area.

The Purchase headquarters complex is associated with architect Edward Durell Stone, who designed the main building in the 1970s. The site is known for its modernist architecture and landscaped grounds, including sculptures and artwork.

A common mix-up is confusing PepsiCo’s headquarters with those of The Coca-Cola Company. Coca-Cola is headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, while PepsiCo’s corporate base is in Purchase. New Bern remains important to Pepsi’s origin story because pharmacist Caleb Bradham developed Pepsi-Cola there in the late nineteenth century.
