1921

Ed Jansen opened Schultz Bottling Works, a soda factory in Sheboygan, Wisconsin. In 1922, he renamed it to Lakeside Bottling Works. He invested in modern machinery and drilled an artesian well at the plant, for superior safety, flavor and purity.

To meet increasing demands, a new factory was built on Calumet Drive in Sheboygan. Ed’s family joined the business as his wife Rita and son Clyde helped to expand growth.

Lakeside Pepsi has been one of our top suppliers for over 30 years. Their dedication and customer service is second to none!

Every Tuesday, when my Lakeside Pepsi rep comes in, he lets me know about new and upcoming products. He also discusses his plan on where to put the new products.

My sales rep does a great job. He keeps me informed and works with me to maximize sales.

Our Lakeside Pepsi rep is always available for us. We can text or call him. He’ll even answer when he’s out of town and direct us on what to do if a problem pops up.

We work with dozens of vendors and Lakeside Pepsi is on the top of our list when it comes to customer service. Our reps are very helpful and personable. Couldn’t be happier!
