PepsiCo Announces Move on the Blind Brook Polo Club in Purchase

PepsiCo's decision to relocate its headquarters to Purchase, New York, was influenced by various factors, including the efforts of local officials to retain the company in New York City. The Mayor of New York City initiated a campaign to persuade PepsiCo to stay, highlighting the importance of the company to the local economy and community. Despite these efforts, PepsiCo opted for a new site that offered more space and potential for growth. The new headquarters was established on a 112-acre property at the Blind Brook Polo Club, providing the company with the opportunity to expand its operations and facilities. This move marked a significant shift in the company's presence, as it transitioned from an urban environment to a more suburban setting, which was seen as beneficial for its corporate culture and employee satisfaction. The relocation also reflected broader trends in corporate America, where companies sought more spacious and modern facilities away from crowded urban centers. The impact of this move was felt not only by PepsiCo but also by the local economy in Purchase, which benefited from the influx of jobs and investment associated with the new headquarters.
