The Pop Shoppe
The Pop Shoppe[edit | edit source]
The Pop Shoppe is a popular Canadian brand of soft drinks. It was first established in 1969 in London, Ontario by Gary Shaw. The brand is known for its unique distribution method and wide variety of flavors.
History[edit | edit source]
The Pop Shoppe was founded in 1969 by Gary Shaw. The company initially started with a unique business model, where customers would visit a Pop Shoppe retail store, purchase a crate of pop, consume it, and then return the bottles to the store for a refund. This model was successful and by the mid-1970s, there were over 500 Pop Shoppe retail locations across Canada.
In 1983, due to a combination of factors including increased competition and changes in the retail landscape, The Pop Shoppe closed its retail locations and ceased operations. However, in 2004, the brand was revived by Brian Alger, who relaunched The Pop Shoppe as a premium brand available in supermarkets and other retail locations.
Products[edit | edit source]
The Pop Shoppe offers a wide variety of soft drink flavors. Some of the most popular flavors include Cream Soda, Black Cherry, Lime Rickey, and Root Beer. The brand is known for its distinctive stubby glass bottles, which are a nod to its original 1970s packaging.
Distribution[edit | edit source]
Today, The Pop Shoppe products are available in supermarkets, convenience stores, and other retail locations across Canada. The brand has also expanded its distribution to the United States and other international markets.
Legacy[edit | edit source]
The Pop Shoppe holds a special place in Canadian pop culture. Its unique business model, wide variety of flavors, and distinctive packaging have made it a beloved brand among Canadians. The brand's revival in 2004 is a testament to its enduring popularity.
