Listen up, sugar fiends: Rocket Fizz Soda Pop and Candy Shop will open a new location at 6303 Delmar Blvd., in The Loop, the space formerly occupied by City Sprouts. A recorded phone message at the shop stated its owners hoped to open doors May 24. Calls to Rocket Fizz for comment were not immediately returned.
Rocket Fizz opened its first store in southern California and has since expanded to more than 40 franchise locations across the country. Best known for its line of unusually flavored name-brand sodas – bacon, pumpkin pie – the shop also stocks a wide range of rare or small-batch candies to keep your sweet tooth satisfied.
