Anything's possible - Starbuck's bottled Frappuccino is manufactured by PepsiCo, and it's not like Starbucks has really been in the parks all that long...
Starbucks has recently come into the park, and honestly if they were to get rid of Starbucks, that would mean the removal of the small, minuscule Starbucks signs, Starbucks coffee machines, and everything else. I don't see it being a big hassle to get rid of Starbucks. Plus, maybe they will only get rid of the Pepsi Co. bottled products and not the made on site stuff?
Agreed, Starbucks coffee machines and products are normally a different contract.Party Rocker said:
I'm glad that Cedar Fair doesn't have a national contract Coca-Cola like Six Flags did. The good thing is that Cedar Fair lets it's parks do this at the local level, since Cedar Point is a Pepsi park.michaelcollier1 said:
I can see that happening. Since, I can drink Coke or Pepsi which is a good thing for me.michaelcollier1 said:
Sea World Orlando is still serving Pepsi today... perhaps it will happen tomorrow, the first business day of 2012?
I was talking with a few people, honestly I think the change will be gradual over the next few weeks. Just think of all the machines and products that need to be taken out. Plus, what if the park have leftover syrup, do they return it or sell it until it is sold out?
After all the park already bought it, so would they get a refund or just simply sell the rest? But I think they will sell the rest until they run out. I know in a few soda machines, they were frequently sold out of bottled drinks and some of the fountain drink options varied throughout the day. But like I said, it will probably be more gradually and less suddenly.
I think Pepsi is the same Coke and Pepsi more in likely will take the unsold product back.michaelcollier1 said:
Oh good. I was so worried about when Tampa would deplete their stockpile and start to pull machines. Thank you Gavin. *rolls eyes.
BGW has already received and installed Coke vending machines, that have taken the place of a few Pepsi machines. Not sure if they are operational yet, but they are there and set-up.
