our story
The path to poppi was built through a series of deliberate moves. First, Co-Founder Allison Ellsworth developed a drink in Dallas in 2015 from fruit juices, prebiotics and sparkling water.
Then she brought the bottles to a farmers' market, where a Whole Foods buyer saw their potential. The discovery gave a kitchen-made concept room to travel.
Next, Allison and her husband, Stephen, appeared on Shark Tank. Their 2018 deal with Rohan Oza opened the rebrand chapter, and poppi stepped forward in its bold new form.
In 2025, the brand joined the PepsiCo family. Whether fruity or classic, each direction is tied to “the freedom to love soda again.”
