Feelin’ Like a Faygo!

 

In 1907, two Russian immigrants, Ben and Perry Feigenson, created a piece of Detroit history by opening Faygo’s first facility. More than a century later, Faygo is still located in Detroit and proudly produces such popular soft drinks as Red Pop and Rock and Rye, along with a complete line of carbonated and non-carbonated beverages. Faygo Beverages, Inc. has been part of the National Beverage family since 1987.
