It will also launch in Asda and John Lewis in October.
To make the drinks using tap water, customers need to simple carbonate their water using their SodaStream and then add a dash of one of the PepsiCo flavours.
The move has been applauded as environmentally friendly and a way to move away from using excessive plastic.
PepsiCo executive vice president Jim Andrew told trade magazine The Grocer: ‘We are working to advance our shared goal of reducing plastic waste and building a more sustainable future, and this represents just another step on this journey ‘.
PepsiCo bought Sodastream in 2018 in a £2.5 billion deal and at the time it was the largest PepsiCo acquisition in eight years.

PepsiCo said Sodastream was ‘highly complementary and incremental to our business, adding to our growing water portfolio, while catalysing our ability to offer personalised in-home beverage solutions around the world. ‘
The Grocer said that Sodastream has spent the last few years ramping up its presence in grocery in the UK.
Its machines hit the supermarkets for the first time in April 2020 when they launched into Asda and this was followed by expansion into Sainsbury’s in September 2020.
Last year Sodastream unveiled plans to switch its syrup bottles from plastic to metal, which it said would remove around 200 million single-use plastic bottles from the soft drinks market by 2025. It also plans to run its business entirely on clean energy by 2024.
