Headquarters
Tropicana Products has its headquarters in Chicago. PepsiCo, the parent company of Tropicana, planned to begin moving Tropicana employees into its existing Chicago facility in the first quarter of 2004. PepsiCo moved Tropicana into Chicago so all of its juice brands would be consolidated into one Chicago-based unit.
Until 2004, Tropicana Products was headquartered in the four-story Rossi Office Building in Bradenton, Florida. The Class A office space building, which was completed in 2002, went on the real estate market for $20 million in 2004. In 2007, it was sold to Bealls of Florida. The 149,000 square feet (13,800 m2) building was renamed the E. R. Beall Center. The Beall Center, which cost $33 million to build, had an appraised value of $38 million in 2005. The former Tropicana building has a 10,000 square feet (930 m2) cafeteria, a 6,000 square feet (560 m2) fitness center, and a 24,000 square feet (2,200 m2) meeting space.
