Club History
In 1983, the Pepsi-Cola Collectors Club was formed by Bob Stoddard as a way to bring fellow collectors together to exchange information about their collections, and to buy, sell, and trade. Over the years, the club has evolved into an organization with members in numerous countries. An annual convention is held in Indianapolis, Indiana every March called Pepsi Fest.
Two times a year we have a grand gathering of membership. One is in the spring in
Indianapolis, IN called Pepsi Fest and the second is in summer in Las Vegas called Pepsi Celebration.
Keep an eye on our Events page.
Local Pepsi Club Chapters
The Pepsi-Cola Collectors Club is made up of many individuals who enjoy the taste of Pepsi products and enjoy collecting anything to do with Pepsi. While many of the members of the PCCC make the trek to Pepsi-Fest in Indianapolis every March or to Pepsi Celebration in Las Vegas each November, there are a large number that cannot make the trip to either event. Still others attend one or both of those events and still want more opportunities to meet with their fellow Pepsi-collecting friends. The primary solution for each of these groups is to attend local chapter meetings. There are a number of chapters spread out across the U. S. and the opportunities to start new local chapters are endless.
Belonging to a local chapter helps to satisfy the need to "talk Pepsi' with other collectors like yourself. It eases the frustration of waiting an entire year between Pepsi-Fest or Pepsi Celebration. It provides a connection to more Pepsi collectibles through the other collectors by selling, trading, or by having swapmeets. It can also help you to learn or to teach other collectors about what new collectibles are out there or what new reproduction items to watch out for. It's a way for all of us collectors to help each other in the world of Pepsi collecting at the local level.
Once you join the PCCC, you are eligible to join one of the local chapters nearest to you. If there isn't a chapter near enough for you to join, you can very easily start a chapter in your area. The only real restrictions to the local chapters are that the members all live relatively close to each other and that the members of the chapter must also belong to the Pepsi-Cola Collectors Club. The best example of "relatively close" would be the Iowa Chapter in which most of the members live within the state even though it can take five hours to drive from one side to the other. If you have another member of the PCCC living near you, you can team up to start a chapter. If you don't, now would be the time to tell everyone you know about the club and to get them to join the PCCC so they can help you start a chapter. Once you get it started and have a meeting or two, you will be impressed with how easy it was to get the Pepsi ball rolling.
If you aren't really sure how to get that first meeting started, have a cookout/meeting and invite everyone you know that collects anything. Leave a flyer at the local Pepsi distributor explaining that you collect Pepsi and want to start a local chapter of the PCCC. Leave flyers at the local flea markets. Pin the flyers to your shirt so others can read them as you walk around that flea market or antique shop. Advertise your Pepsi desire at a garage sale. You might be amazed at the results. Keep in mind that the PCCC started with three people getting together to "talk Pepsi" and that the local chapters basically started the same way. If you want to know the locations of chapters or want more information about starting a chapter, go to the Contact Page and send us a message or if you are a member, go to the Membership page for many options of information.
