It was unsuccessful, however, in its attempt to takeover Dr. Pepper. Castle & Cooke needs to upgrade its marketing operation. It has taken a thirty per cent stake in A&W, with the option to buy out A&W in the next five years. Wilson still wants to acquire an established soft-drinks business, which may involve using property to generate the necessary cash.
