Pepsi Beverages, the soda brand born in New Bern, plans to add 195 jobs over three years as it expands a customer-service center in Winston-Salem.
The new jobs will pay average annual salaries of $36,077, Gov. Bev Perdue's office announced this morning. That's less than the $40,352 Forsyth County average.
The company will receive state and local incentives worth up to $800,000, including a $400,000 state grant, if it meets hiring targets. Pepsi Beverages, a division of New York-based PepsiCo, also will have to retain the 870 people it already employs at the Winston-Salem call center.
Pepsi Beverages plans to expand its Triad call center and add about 200 jobs, the Winston-Salem Journal reported.
Gov. Bev Perdue is scheduled to make an economic-development announcement at 10 a.m. on Monday at 1100 Reynolds Blvd., Winston-Salem, where the company has a call center with more than 800 workers.
The company is expected to receive state and local incentives worth as much as $800,000 if it meets hiring goals.
The new jobs will pay average annual salaries of $36,500, the newspaper reported, citing documents related to incentives approved by Forsyth County and Winston-Salem.
On the heels of winning a major Caterpillar factory, Winston-Salem leaders are offering another round of incentives to lure an expansion by Pepsi Beverages at its Triad call center.

Forsyth County commissioners have scheduled a hearing on Sept. 13 to discuss offering $64,000 to $150,000 in incentives. The city of Winston-Salem is expected to kick in the rest of a combined $400,000 offer.
The state would match that amount with a $400,000 grant from the One North Carolina Fund, the newspaper reported.
Forgive the folks at Pepsi Bottling Ventures if they forgo throwing a Super Bowl party.
The Raleigh-based company, one of the nation's largest bottlers of Pepsi products, can't control how the beverage and snacks giant spends its advertising money. But it couldn't have set off much celebrating when Pepsi announced Thursday that it won't advertise its drinks during the big football game on CBS.
Pepsi beverages have been advertised in the Super Bowl since 1987, with spots that featured celebrities such as Cindy Crawford, Britney Spears and Will.i.am. Last year the company spent $33 million promoting products such as Pepsi, Gatorade and Cheetos, with $15 million on Pepsi alone.
The company spent $142.8 million from 1999 to 2008 on Super Bowl ads, second only to Anheuser-Busch, the Associated Press reports.
Pepsi plans to focus on new online marketing efforts.
Pepsi Bottling Ventures, the subsidiary of a Japanese company since 1980, employs more than 2,400 people at its 26 facilities in North Carolina, New York, Delaware, Maryland, Vermont and Idaho.
