[edit] History
Dr Pepper Snapple Group (then known as Cadbury Schweppes Americas Beverages) was at one time the largest division of Cadbury Schweppes plc.
Dr Pepper Snapple Group was spun off from Cadbury Schweppes plc and is the successor to Dr Pepper/Seven Up, Inc., Mott's Beverages, and Snapple Beverages. All three independently operated under Cadbury Schweppes ownership prior to early 2004.
In 2006 and 2007, Cadbury Schweppes purchased the Dr Pepper/Seven Up Bottling Group (DPSUBG), along with several other regional bottlers. This allows DPS to bottle many of its own beverages and combat the recent decision by many Pepsi and Coke bottlers to drop their products. Some of the Dr Pepper/Seven Up brands are still licenced to Pepsi, Coke and independent bottlers in various regions of the United States.
Dr Pepper Snapple Group holds naming rights to Dr Pepper Ballpark and the Dallas Stars practice facility, the DrPepper Star Center, both of which are located in Frisco, Texas. It also retains non-alcoholic beverage rights to each facility's concessions as a result of the deals as well as sponsorships with the NHL franchise.
Cadbury Schweppes announced it would take the beverages unit public in 2008. In May 2008, Cadbury Schweppes demerged, with its beverage holdings forming the Dr Pepper Snapple Group.
