Recently noted the latter really busy stocking food joints and the streets with a range of flavors. Where will this leave the 2 American giants books finally? Could this be another real business opportunity for kenyans? Ati Pepsi now @ 23/- like Coke. Have yu ever bought Coke @ 23/- really?? Who is politriking here. Will coke, like EABL pull the Joker on Pricing? This is getting interesting... 'Hope' is not a strategy. Take Action!

I think Pepsi will have to come with a different strategy rather than just price cutting. Although practically speaking it might be viable product loyalty might play a big role. Uncertainty is certain.Let go

And which listed firm(s) is(are) set to lose or gain in this price war; 1. Centum -Lose - Own a chunk of Coke, 2. Carbacid -Lose - Supply of CO2 to coke, 3. 4. n. Insurance - Lose - Hospital bills claims, Receive with simplicity everything that happens to you.” ― Rashi

Lower soda price means taking more liters of soda, leading to obesity and for the unlucky one like me, diabetes. You can jaza pengo for the rest.

n. Insurance - Lose - Hospital bills claims, Due to drop in sales volumes? Quote: PepsiCo, which is opening a Sh2.6 billion plant in Nairobi’s Ruaraka area on Monday, is selling six flavours of its 350ml drinks at Sh23, translating to more volume for consumers at the same price as Coca-Cola’s Sh300ml bottles. Will the local mwananchi understand the reasoning behind Vol & Price ??? I dont think so... I wish these Pepsi would go the coke way.... The Kadogo Economy. Coke used to stock sodas costing as little as 15/-. What happened??? @Dunkang, Sorry bro. 'Hope' is not a strategy. Take Action!

I think Carbacid will gain and not lose as their sales will increase!! The lost sale to coca cola will be marginal and will be offset by the increase in sale to pepsi.

I can see they are making their drinks at Ruaraka and not importing, thats good. But will they be making their own CO2 like EABL or will be buying from Carbacid. Also remember, after some hospitals started making some of their gases, BOC was to start a CO2 plant in the rift valley, would Pepsico be their 'first' customer?

I actually think this was a brilliant concept/strategy to get into a market well dominated by a monopoly. Remember that their first step is to get people to try their product while they look like they are offering a choice, second is to retain. If I went to a shop I will definitely try out a pepsi since I've had coca cola all my life.
BBI will solve it :)

I liked schweppes.It presented a change from the norm. What I want to see is how they will handle their distribution and if they will introduced any new products? But the strategy will work,means more savings for people. Uncertainty is certain.Let go

i like the pepsi in pet bottles over cocacola. the pepsi glass bottles look hideous The investor's chief problem - and even his worst enemy - is likely to be himself

Coca Cola Kenya sales dept is the most corrupt as far as corruption goes in the private sector. Its about time they eat humble pie with the coming of Pepsi. Let's hope pepsi sales rep do not start demanding bribes for distributorship and supply of coolers

Sounds like a repeat of Tusker vs Castle.... I used to prefer Pepsi to Coke in the 1970s... it is sweeter But these two global giants will take a serious beating from local producers of ready to drink fruit juices - Afia and Tamu. Afia is already giving Coke a run for their money.... Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

What I want to see is how they will handle their distribution Distribution will always be a challenge for any new entrant to any market. It is the make or break because it involves trust, logistics, and people who are very well verse with system and people. It should be a 5yr plan and not rushed like Keroche or Castle.
BBI will solve it :)

Later or soon Cock may revised their prices too because it happened all over the world. No doubt both are each other competitive but this is their strategy to cut down prices for fail the local beverages companies.
