 PROFILE
When Aunt Jemima and the Quaker guy exercise, they rehydrate with Gatorade. The Quaker Oats Company is the longtime leader in hot cereals while its Gatorade brand has more than 80% of the US sports-drink market. Quaker Oats' diverse product line also includes value-added grains (Rice-A-Roni, Near East), pancake mixes and syrups (Aunt Jemima), ready-to-eat cereals (Cap'n Crunch, Life), granola bars, and rice cakes. Although foods account for more than 60% of its sales, beverages have become its strongest unit; the company has been shifting resources from cereal to Gatorade. More than 75% of Quaker Oats' sales are in the US. The company is being bought by PepsiCo.
