Before Pepsi became a globally recognized brand, it began at a soda fountain in downtown New Bern.

In 1898, local pharmacist Caleb Bradham renamed his popular creation “Pepsi-Cola,” establishing the roots of a brand that would eventually reach consumers around the world. The Pepsi-Cola Company was later incorporated in North Carolina in 1902.

More than a piece of local history, Pepsi’s story is a reminder that transformative ideas can begin right here in Craven County. Our region has a long legacy of entrepreneurship, creativity, and ambition; and that spirit continues today.

Big ideas have always had a home in Craven County.

With welcoming neighborhoods, waterfront access, vibrant downtowns, and room to grow, Craven County offers more than a place to work or invest. It offers a quality of life people are proud to call their own.
