Big movement in the US snacks category market. PepsiCo has announced its acquisition of Siete Foods, a company known for its grain-free tortillas and snacks, aimed at expanding its portfolio in the fast-growing health-focused food segment. This move aligns with PepsiCo’s strategy to diversify its offerings and appeal to consumers seeking healthier options. The financial details of the deal were not disclosed, but Siete Foods has gained significant popularity in recent years, particularly among those with dietary restrictions. The acquisition reflects PepsiCo's commitment to innovation and growth in the snack food market. The total operation has a total value of $1.2 Billion. Basically the acquisition no only incorporate a new #brand in the portfolio of #Pepsico but also add more than 37.000 retail doors in the US #market; most of the ethnic stores where Pepsi see a lot of potential to grow. We can say now that Frito Lay got a #LATAM brand with solid distribution to reach the growing market of Latin and Spanish food consumers but also approaching the #healthy options for #snacking. https://lnkd.in/dtVX_q2a José Hernández García Roy L Hunt Francisco Muñoz Martínez BrandsXpansion - FOOD GROUP David Sotomayor López

Embracing the complexity of the food and beverage supply chain is not for the faint of heart. Laura Maxwell, SVP, supply chain at PepsiCo Foods North America, shared the company’s experience doing just that over the past several years at Manifest 2024, the supply chain and logistics conference in Las Vegas, explaining how the company’s “Always. Everywhere.” motto plays a part in its most recent transformation. According to Maxwell, PepsiCo emerged from the pandemic with a desire to focus on always being a consumer's choice in foods. For the company, that meant going beyond beverages and snacks and moving into other segments such as meat snacks, pasta, sauces, syrups, cookies and much more. Broadening its portfolio led PepsiCo to take on even more supply chain complexity thanks to a wider group of line items. The company looked at three main factors as it worked to change its supply chain, including: 1️⃣ Go Small to Go Big 2️⃣ Sustainability Through Declaring “Double" 3️⃣ A Focus On Partnerships Progressive Grocer 👉 https://lnkd.in/gj_uf2RH #retail #cpg #food #supplychain #logistics #growth #supermarkets

This SKU brings PepsiCo’s Power of One (selling Bev & Food products together) concept to life in a very interesting space - liquor retail. PO1 has proved to be tricky to execute because the portfolio is split across categories (and merchants), who may or may not be aligned on the timing of activities. Also harder to plan space in stores for the same reason - for bev and snacks sit in separate aisles. This does look like an alternate solution though - lets see if it scales. Well played LCBO & PepsiCo. #retailspotting

7-Eleven's recent financial struggles in North America, notably the U.S., have been the talk of the c-store industry in recent weeks, as the company is set to shutter nearly 450 underperforming locations. As it looks to foodservice to help bolster its business, the company appears intent on learning a thing or two from the second-largest grocery chain in the continent. Just recently, it tapped one of Albertsons top executives, Brandon Brown, to lead its fresh food programs. I'm curious: What practices from the grocery world could 7-Eleven use to boost its foodservice operations?

What's happening: PepsiCo has announced its acquisition of Mexican-American food company Siete Foods for $1.2 billion, marking its first food purchase in about five years. As part of its strategy to diversify into healthier options, PepsiCo has been actively acquiring brands that align with this focus, including Bare Snacks and Health Warrior. Founded in 2014 by Veronica Garza, Siete Foods initially gained popularity for its grain-free tortillas and has since expanded to include a variety of products like tortilla chips, taco shells, salsas, and seasonings tailored for various dietary needs. These products are available at major retailers such as Target and Whole Foods. Pepsi CEO Ramon Laguarta expressed enthusiasm about enhancing the company’s multicultural portfolio with Siete’s offerings. The acquisition is expected to finalize in the first half of 2025, pending regulatory approval, amidst a trend of increasing deal-making among packaged food companies seeking to bolster sales growth. https://brnw.ch/21wNEap #LatinoBuzz

Exciting times! PepsiCo announced they entered into an agreement to acquire Siete Foods for $1.2B. Given PepsiCo’s annual revenue is north of $91B, it most likely won’t have a huge effect on top-line revenue upon the deal closing. However, given PepsiCo’s distribution power I would expect to see Siete’s ACV growth to acclerate within the first 2 years post-closing which revenue will acclerate with distribution. They will then leverage trade and advertising spend to stabilize velocity and in turn grow velocities to continue revenue growth. Over the arc of time, you’ll see further innovation to expand shelf placement and eating occasions. https://lnkd.in/eEqASg9V
