Our Heritage
For over 70 years, Tropicana® has been committed to bringing the goodness of fresh fruit to your breakfast table every day.
1921
The Rossi Spirit
The Tropicana® story begins with Anthony Rossi, an immigrant from Sicily who arrived in the US in 1921 with $25 in his pocket and a passion for fresh, delicious fruit.
1947
Tropicana® Starts Off
At first, Rossi sold fruit gift boxes in Florida. But there was much more he wanted to accomplish with the simple orange. He quickly evolved his business to sell freshly squeezed, 100% pure orange juice.
1953
Tropicana® Finds a Home
Tropicana® is moved to Bradenton, Florida, where it is still situated today.
1970
From Grove to Glass
Rossi pioneered pasteurization, packaging and transportation processes for orange juice. For the first time, people could enjoy the fresh taste of pure 100% Florida orange juice in a ready-to-serve package.
1988
The Birth of an Icon
In 1988, a graphic featuring a red- and white-striped straw sticking out of an orange was first used in advertising to represent the fresh taste of Tropicana juices.
1991
Canada’s Debut
Tropicana® expands to Canada. It was the first brand to bring fresh, not from concentrate chilled juices to Canada.

Introduced 100% Fruit Juices
Oranges aren't the only fruit that taste delicious on its own. In 2006, we expanded our 100% Freshly Pressed juices to include Tropicana Pure Premium® 100% Red Grapefruit Juice and Tropicana ® 100% Apple Juice.
