Soda Pop Shop is a Soda Pop One Stop Shop
November 3rd, 2009
Some times I come across a video that immediately strikes me before I even watch it. This coming from Boing Boing, was headlined as a “video about the world’s greatest pop shop”… and you know what… they’re probably right. Here’s the info from YouTube about the video above:
John Nese is the proprietor of Galcos Soda Pop Stop in LA. His father ran it as a grocery store, and when the time came for John to take charge, he decided to convert it into the ultimate soda-lovers destination. About 500 pops line the shelves, sourced lovingly by John from around the world. John has made it his mission to keep small soda-makers afloat and help them find their consumers. Galcos also acts as a distributor for restaurants and bars along the West Coast, spreading the gospel of soda made with cane sugar (no high-fructose corn syrup if John can avoid it).
This guy speaks with such knowledge and enthusiasm that it made me want to fly out to LA, .like, RIGHT NOW, so that I could try some of those damn sodas! I love to experiment with food and drinks. I’ve stopped drinking as much pop as I used to–but let me tell you, if a store like this opened in Waterloo, I’d be screwed.
… Maybe I’ll find some partners and funding and open one…
