As we know it today, yes the dsd model for PepsiCo will change drastically in the next 4 years. Many will lose their jobs and with the diminished focus Pepsi will continue to shrink. The great competitive minds that used to run this company are long gone. I could go on for days about the differences . It’s just bad all the time
Without a doubt, the value of DSD came from leveraging our muscle to place the product in front of every consumer. As consumer preferences shifted, that advantage diminished, making DSD a very expensive model when that muscle no longer worked in our favor.
When this person mentions RC cola it makes me think. Many years ago Pepsi was a great place to work. I felt bad for the people that worked at RC back then.
