It would be nice to have as much notice as possible, with a minimum of four to five days in advance to allow time for product orders. Our vendor will do everything possible to deliver an event that exceeds your expectations.

Pepsi has the exclusive rights on cold beverages dispensed or sampled on Purdue Fort Wayne grounds. Fresh Ideas Food Service can provide bottles, cans, or prepackaged Pepsi products. If university funds are used to purchase beverages, they need to be Pepsi products. If a sponsor wants to donate beverages for an Purdue Fort Wayne event, they need to be Pepsi products.

You can also purchase cold beverages directly from Pepsi. If you do not have a Pepsi account, send a message [email protected] to set one up.

Exceptions
Pepsi has granted Purdue Fort Wayne the right to have some competitive products sold at the Mastodon Campus Store, on the second floor of Walb Union. Store-brand bottled or packaged water (e.g., the label reads Kroger or Walmart) purchased by Purdue Fort Wayne to distribute free of charge at meetings or events with groups of 250 or fewer is also permissible. However, Pepsi may be able to provide a good price on the water and it would be delivered. Contact the purchasing department for further information.
