The Pop Shop, which can be found at 241 N. Market St., has been serving ice cream to customers for almost a decade now. Summer is about to conclude and the Pop Shop is the perfect place to go to end the season on a sweet note.

The Pop Shop is a retro-themed shop that sells a wide variety of sodas and ice creams for customers to enjoy. Upon entering, you’re greeted with a wall of hundreds of different kinds of sodas, ranging from root beer and Coca-Cola, to novelty sodas such as zombie brains and unicorn poop. The shop itself carries over 400 different sodas with different novelty sodas on each and every shelf, all of which can be bought to drink normally or be used to make a custom soda float.

Along with the large variety of different sodas, the Pop Shop serves an assortment of different ice cream flavors, all of which are locally sourced. The ice cream flavors include strawberry, chocolate, vanilla, salted caramel, party cake, strawberry cheesecake and more. The Pop Shop also caters to people who can’t have dairy, providing dairy free options such as: Breyer’s almond milk chip, Breyer’s oat milk vanilla, strawberry hibiscus sorbet and guava passion fruit.

Soda and ice cream are great, but what really makes the Pop Shop so amazing is the overall atmosphere, which doesn’t go unnoticed, shown by the amount of positive reviews that are received. One local reviewer, Sarah Jane Maher, rated the Pop Shop five stars and said, “I love this store! It is a soda junkie heaven. The staff was very polite and very helpful.”

Another local, Jen Abulencia, who left a five star review said, “Very cute store with a very wide selection of bottled sodas and candies. The staff member who was working was very kind.” The atmosphere of a shop is what helps bring customers coming back for more. Maher and Abulencia are just two of the hundreds of satisfied customers that have visited the Pop Shop. Once again, if you’re ever looking for a place to grab something sweet, then stop by the Pop Shop and become another one of their many satisfied customers.
