West Jefferson is the home of soda manufacturers West Jefferson Dr Pepper (WJDP). The company is known for producing all their non-diet products with [[cane sugar]], most of which are [[Dr Pepper Snapple Group]] (formerly [[Dr Pepper/Seven Up]]) products but also include [[Mountain Dew]]. WJDP is one of only two non-Pepsi franchises existing in the United States permitted to produce Mountain Dew.{{citation needed|date=August 2023}}

The company does not ship outside its contracted territory, but several websites sell the product at a premium price. The premium price has been justified by the fact that WJDP is one of the last bottlers in the U.S. to use cane sugar instead of [[high fructose corn syrup]].<ref>{{cite web| title=West Jefferson Dr Pepper| url=http://www.glassbottlesoda.org/bottlers/wjefferson.shtml| publisher=Brent Barber| access-date=September 5, 2012}}</ref>
