PEPSI X Kelly Rowland launched the 'Local Eats Better With Pepsi' program, a campaign designed to celebrate local dining establishments and their dedicated patrons. This initiative offers participants "the chance to become hometown celebrities, featured in a Pepsi advertisement with their favorite menu item renamed in their honor." The campaign also positively impacts local businesses by bringing them greater recognition and support.
To kick off the program, Kelly Rowland highlighted her favorite hometown restaurant, 'Houston This Is It Soul Food,' and encouraged fans to enjoy the meal that keeps her coming back. Loyal customers can participate "by nominating their favorite local restaurant on PepsiLocalEats.com until October 31, 2024; winners will be featured in a Pepsi campaign and enjoy their signature dish, renamed after them, for free for a limited time."
