The PoP Shoppe

The PoP Shoppe story began in 1969, when two Canadian entrepreneurs began selling soda, in a unique variety of flavors, at independent PoP Shoppe brick & mortar retail outlets. Customers would return their empty bottles for a deposit refund in the recognizable red PoP Shoppe branded crates and then picked up filled bottles for their families. Over the next several years, The PoP Shoppe was operating over 1000 stores across Canada as well as enjoying a retail presence in 15 US states. NHL veteran Eddie Shack was also named the Spokesman for the brand’s then 30-flavor product line. In the early 1980’s, The PoP Shoppe closed its doors largely due to competition from private label grocery brands. It wasn’t until 2006 that The PoP Shoppe brand relaunched in Canada and today The PoP Shoppe is Canada’s fastest growing craft soda. The PoP Shoppe puts a smile on the faces of so many consumers who remember their tasty sodas from some 40 to 50 some odd years ago, as well as those recently discovering The PoP Shoppe soda for the very first time, millennials and generation Z.
