Exciting New Chapter: Poppi Takes Edinburgh by Storm with a Flavorful Experience

The culinary landscape in Edinburgh got a remarkable boost this week with the grand transformation of the Pret A Manger store on Princes Street. The shop has embraced an exciting collaboration with the US soda brand Poppi, and it’s a celebration that no local should miss. Customers are set to enjoy an array of delightful freebies inspired by a drink that has taken the internet by storm.

A Taste of Celebration

The Pret A Manger takeover, beginning on March 10 and continuing for two full weeks, has turned 135 Princes Street into a lively poppi-themed festivity. The store features bold branding, live DJs to uplift the atmosphere, and complimentary poppi sampling throughout the day. The excitement extends to the first 100 guests arriving from 2 PM each day, who will be treated to exclusive limited-edition merchandise, enhancing the buzz around this unique initiative.

Poppi's Journey and Unique Offerings

Poppi, which made its debut in the UK recently, is on a mission to transform the soda experience. With five refreshing flavors such as Strawberry Lemon, Raspberry Rose, Lemon Lime, Wild Berry, and Orange, it aims to provide a healthier alternative to traditional sodas. It was founded in 2016 by Allison and Stephen Ellsworth, who wanted to craft a soda that retained the joy of refreshment without the guilt associated with sugary drinks. As Allison stated, "When we started poppi, the goal was simple: create a soda people could feel good about drinking." With its first international expansion, Poppi is set to capture the hearts of British consumers.

A Community Celebration

This excitement was echoed by Natalia Fillipociants, General Manager of Europe International Beverages at PepsiCo, who highlighted the vibrant and enjoyable nature of Poppi's approach. She noted that British consumers are increasingly seeking balanced and modern beverages in their everyday lives. “With bold fruity flavors, poppi delivers full-flavor fizz made with ingredients that the consumer will absolutely love!”

The Edinburgh Pret takeover, happening on March 16 and 17 from 10 AM to 5 PM, promises to be a fantastic event for both locals and visitors. With the chance to win "Pret for a year," this celebration is not just about sampling a new soda; it's an invitation to experience a lively community event that emphasizes healthy and enjoyable living.
