Chobani Pushes Into Drinks After Spurning Pepsi Takeover Bid

Chobani LLC, which recently spurned a takeover bid from PepsiCo Inc., is pushing deeper into the territory of its former suitor.

The yogurt maker will start selling beverages for the first time, along with a line of savory dips, according to a statement on Thursday. Though the products will be made with yogurt, the move lets the company expand into other areas of the supermarket, pitting it against a range of new competitors.
