HISTORY OF BRADHAM
Back in the day (as in 1938), our little corner of Charlotte (literally the corner of New Bern and South) was home to the original Pepsi franchisee’s bottling plant. Caleb Bradham created Pepsi as a way to cure an upset stomach (dyspepsia, to be exact), and his super drink was produced right here. The plant is long gone, but we wanted to honor these grounds with a nod to Charlotte’s soda shop prowess — and the man who started it all.
