What Brands Does PepsiCo Own? A Full List for 2026

PepsiCo owns 23 brands that each generate more than $1 billion in annual sales, spanning soft drinks, sports drinks, bottled water, chips, and breakfast foods. Its portfolio reaches well beyond the Pepsi name to Gatorade, Mountain Dew, Lay's, Doritos, Cheetos, and Quaker. Here is what PepsiCo owns in 2026, organized by category.

PepsiCo beverage brands

Beverages are the larger half of PepsiCo's business. Sixteen of its 23 billion-dollar brands sit in the drinks aisle, from carbonated soft drinks to sports drinks and water.

Pepsi and Mountain Dew

Pepsi is the flagship cola and PepsiCo's namesake. Mountain Dew, the citrus soda that dates to 1940, joined the company in 1964 and remains one of its top-selling carbonated brands in the United States.

Gatorade

Gatorade is the leading sports drink in the U.S. by a wide margin. PepsiCo acquired it in 2001 through its merger with the Quaker Oats Company and has kept it the market leader in electrolyte replacement.

Aquafina, Rockstar, bubly, and SodaStream

Aquafina is PepsiCo's purified bottled water, launched in 1994. The company expanded its drinks lineup with Rockstar Energy, bought for about $3.85 billion in 2020, the bubly sparkling water line, and SodaStream, the at-home carbonation system acquired in 2018.

Poppi

PepsiCo bought the prebiotic soda brand Poppi for $1.95 billion in a deal that closed in May 2025, its move into the fast-growing functional soda category.

Frito-Lay snack brands

Frito-Lay is PepsiCo's snack division and North America's largest salty-snack maker. It holds several of the company's billion-dollar food brands.

Lay's, Doritos, Cheetos, Fritos, and Tostitos

Lay's potato chips lead the category worldwide. Doritos was the top-selling U.S. tortilla chip brand, and Cheetos anchors the cheese-snack aisle. Fritos corn chips and Tostitos tortilla chips round out the core Frito-Lay lineup, along with Ruffles and SunChips.

Siete Foods

PepsiCo closed its $1.2 billion purchase of Siete Foods in January 2025, adding the Mexican-American maker of grain-free tortilla chips and clean-label snacks to Frito-Lay.

Quaker Foods brands

PepsiCo's Quaker Foods division came with the 2001 Quaker Oats merger. Quaker covers oatmeal, cereals, granola bars, rice snacks, and pancake mixes, and the same deal brought Gatorade into the company.

International and regional PepsiCo brands

PepsiCo sells localized snack brands in markets around the world, often built on flavors specific to each region.

• Walkers — the leading crisps brand in the United Kingdom.
• Sabritas and Gamesa — PepsiCo's salty-snack and cookie brands in Mexico.
• Kurkure — spicy corn puffs sold widely across India.
• Simba — South Africa's popular potato chip brand, added to PepsiCo in 1999.

Sabra

Sabra is a leading hummus brand in North America. PepsiCo started it in 2008 as a 50/50 joint venture with Israel's Strauss Group and took full ownership in a deal announced in late 2024, making Sabra and its international sister brand Obela wholly owned.

PepsiCo beverage partnerships

PepsiCo does not own every drink it sells. Two long-running joint ventures put its distribution behind brands owned by other companies.

Starbucks ready-to-drink coffee

Through the North American Coffee Partnership with Starbucks, PepsiCo makes and distributes bottled Starbucks Frappuccino and other ready-to-drink coffees. Starbucks owns the brand; PepsiCo handles production and retail distribution.

Lipton iced tea with Unilever

The Pepsi Lipton joint venture with Unilever produces and sells ready-to-drink Lipton iced tea in the U.S. and other markets, giving PepsiCo a foothold in packaged tea without owning the Lipton brand outright.

Brands PepsiCo no longer owns

PepsiCo sold Tropicana, Naked Juice, Izze, and KeVita to private-equity firm PAI Partners in a $3.3 billion deal that closed in 2022, creating the Tropicana Brands Group. PepsiCo kept a 39% non-controlling stake but no longer runs these juice brands. Older lists that still count Tropicana and Naked Juice among PepsiCo's owned brands are out of date.
