Admiral Beverage Corporation is a bottling company with nearly 30 facilities that operate in the region of Wyoming, Montana, South Dakota, Alaska, Utah and Idaho. The company produces 48 flavors and brands in bottles, cans and juice packs. Among the many flavors produced and distributed by Fremont and Admiral Beverages are: Pepsi, Diet Pepsi, Caffeine Free Pepsi, Mountain Dew, 7-Up, Dr Pepper, Crystal Pepsi, A&W Root Beer, Slice, Nehi Grape, Sunglo and Orange Crush. Admiral Beverage started business as Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company in 1947. The one production line operation bottled two flavors - Pepsi-Cola and Nesbitt Orange. In 1970, 13 independent bottlers pooled their resources to build a beverage canning line in Worland, Wyo., to form the corporation. Fremont Beverages was authorized to operate Admiral's canning line, necessitating construction of additional buildings and installation of canning equipment.
