Why Keurig Dr Pepper Is Buying CORE Nutrition For $525M

Keurig Dr Pepper announced that it would buy CORE Nutrition for $525 million by the end of the year. The company would acquire CORE Organic and CORE Hydration, but Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) has already been managing most of CORE’s distribution for several years. The move shows that once again beverage companies are interested in diversifying their portfolios beyond sugary sodas to appeal to more consumers.
