Formerly Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages, part of Cadbury Schweppes, on May 5, 2008, it was spun off from Cadbury Schweppes as Dr Pepper Snapple Group, with the remainder of Cadbury Schweppes becoming Cadbury, a confectionery group. Trading of Dr Pepper Snapple Group's shares commenced on May 7, 2008, on the NYSE as "DPS."
On July 9, 2018, Keurig Green Mountain acquired Dr Pepper Snapple Group, and became Keurig Dr Pepper; the following day, the merged company began trading anew on the NYSE as "KDP."




History


Beverage America and Select Beverages bottlers were purchased from the Carlyle Group in February 1998. Snapple, Mistic, and Stewart's (formerly Cable Car Beverage) were sold by Triarc Companies, Inc. to Cadbury Schweppes in 2000 for $1.45 billion. That October, Cadbury Schweppes purchased Royal Crown Cola from Triarc.
In 2006 and 2007, Cadbury Schweppes purchased the Dr Pepper/Seven Up Bottling Group, along with several other regional bottlers. This allowed DPS to bottle many of its own beverages and combat the recent decision by many Pepsi and Coca-Cola bottlers who had dropped their Dr Pepper and Snapple products to promote new product additions from Pepsi and Coca-Cola. Some of the Dr Pepper/Seven Up brands are still licensed to Pepsi, Coca-Cola, and independent bottlers in various regions of the United States and Canada.
In November 2007, Cadbury Schweppes announced it would take the beverages unit public. On May 5, 2008, Cadbury Schweppes demerged its beverage holdings forming the Dr Pepper Snapple Group.
Dr Pepper Snapple Group holds naming rights to the Dallas Stars' practice facility, the Dr Pepper Arena, which is located in Frisco, Texas. It also retains non-alcoholic beverage rights to each facility's concessions as a result of the deals as well as sponsorships with the NHL franchise.
In 2008, Dr Pepper Snapple Group purchased a minority interest in Big Red, Inc, makers of Big Red, NuGrape, Nesbitt's, and other flavored drinks.
In 2014, the company announced that it accomplished its goal of reducing use of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) in its plastic bottles. Dr Pepper Snapple lowered the amount of PET in its bottles by over 60 million pounds between 2007 and 2014.
On November 22, 2016, Dr Pepper Snapple announced plans to make a cash purchase of Bai Brands for $1.7 billion. It had previously purchased a minority stake in the company for $15 million in 2015.
On January 29, 2018, Keurig Green Mountain announced it was acquiring the Dr Pepper Snapple Group in an $18.7 billion deal. The combined company would be named Keurig Dr Pepper and would trade publicly on the New York Stock Exchange. Shareholders of Dr Pepper Snapple Group would own 13% of the combined company, while Keurig shareholder and Cadbury current owner Mondelez International owning 13–14%, and JAB Holdings owning the remaining majority stake. The buyout and merger was closed on July 9, 2018. Larry Young, President and CEO of the Dr Pepper Snapple Group, retired those positions and joined the board of directors of Keurig Dr Pepper.
