Anyone know why 7 Up is listed as a company based in Jacksonville, FL? Scroll down to the bottom and you'll see it. Just curious if there's any history of the company that I'm unaware of.

Isn't 7 up owned by Pepsi to rival Coke's Sprint?

7 up is owned by 7up Dr pepper. In many markets DP is distributed by Coke or here in FL by Pepsi and almost always bottled by Coke. 7up is distributed by Cadbury Schepps now that Pepsi has Siera Mist. 7up DP just license others to produce and distrbute their product Pepsi owns neither of them.

So I take it there's no reason for wikipedia to have made that categorization?

They are putting a new facility in the westside industrial park. I think that is cadbury though I do not know why this would be listed as 7up's HQ.
