Keurig Dr Pepper Frequently Asked Questions

Updated May 31, 2018

For Dr Pepper Snapple Employees

 

Can I use the new Keurig Dr Pepper logo?

 

We appreciate your patience in waiting until closing to use the new Keurig Dr Pepper logo in presentations, email auto-signatures and the like as we must continue to operate as two separate companies until then. As soon as the merger closes, we’ll send out a new set of templates with the logo for your use.

 

Will we be selling, distributing and merchandising new products as a result of the merger?

 

The merger presents a compelling opportunity to bring more choices and options from the Keurig Green Mountain and JAB portfolios to our retail customers via our direct store delivery network. This will, in turn, add to the assortment of products that we sell and merchandise at retail. It’s too soon to speculate about specific products; those opportunities will become clearer over time as we move through the integration of our businesses.

 

Can you please add dates to the updates on the KDP Merger News app, as well as push notifications for when new articles are added to the app?

 

Great suggestion! We’ve added dates to the KDP Merger News app, which is typically updated on Fridays. As communications are added, you’ll see a red flag in the upper right-hand corner of the new document(s). We don’t have push notification capability at this time. As a reminder, the KDP Merger News app can be downloaded from the DPSG App Catalog.
