PURCHASE, N.Y., May 3, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Few things are more agreed upon than our collective, unapologetic love of food. Cheesy, juicy, or saucy, so many of our favorite eats are enhanced when paired with an ice-cold Pepsi Cola. To reinforce this, the Pepsi brand is upending what we expect of the food delivery world, with today's launch of Pep's Place, where the cola comes first. This inventive fast beverage restaurant turns the traditional ordering process on its head. Consumers are invited to first pick their Pepsi beverage of choice, which then prompts curated food items based on that beverage, to enhance the overall meal experience.
