From the article:
North Texas could benefit as the Plano-based maker of Dr Pepper parts ways from its British parent, with the soft drink company saying it plans to expand operations here.
...A research facility is under construction at the Plano headquarters and is set to open this summer ...also plans to expand operations in Irving, already home to a multi-product manufacturing plant that is one of the largest in the system. It will become a "pilot plant" to test concepts before deciding on a full rollout...
...The new company will have about 20,000 employees including 15,000 added within the past two years from acquisitions. Nearly 2,300 of the workers are in North Texas.
As of Dec. 31, the company had 21 manufacturing plants and about 200 distribution centers in the United States.
