PepsiCo has entered a partnership to serve as the exclusive beverage provider for The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill locations, covering all existing and future restaurants in the chain. The deal places PepsiCo's Aquafina, Pure Leaf, Celsius and custom lemonades alongside a fast casual Mediterranean menu aimed at health focused diners. PepsiCo, a beverage and convenient foods group with a market value of about $176.9 billion, already supplies drinks across global restaurant and retail channels, so a single fast casual chain will not reshape the business on its own, though it extends the away from home and foodservice reach the company has flagged as a higher margin opportunity. The key marker for investors will be how quickly PepsiCo beverages roll out across The Great Greek Mediterranean Grill system through 2026, and whether the chain expands into SKU offerings like energy drinks and hydration products.
