our story
The poppi story begins with patient trial and taste. Co-Founder Allison Ellsworth spent 2015 in her Dallas kitchen bringing fruit juices, prebiotics and sparkling water into one sparkling recipe.
Rather than keeping the result behind the counter, she took bottles to a local farmers' market. A Whole Foods buyer encountered them there, giving the kitchen work a new route forward.
Allison then stepped onto Shark Tank beside her husband, Stephen. Their 2018 agreement with Rohan Oza preceded a fearless rebrand; the next identity to take flight was poppi.
The brand joined the PepsiCo family in 2025. Whether a flavor leans fruity or classic, the promise remains “the freedom to love soda again.”
