More than a dozen soda shops have opened in Utah County since 2013, including Swig, Sodalicious and Pop'n Sweets. These soda shops offer sodas and treats that are custom and inexpensive, but there are nutritional downsides.
On a weekday in July, Swig in Provo had 838 customers. Swig is one of the four soda shops that opened in Provo since 2013. These successful shops almost constantly have a line of thirsty customers. Most open at 7:30 a.m. and are open as late as midnight so people can get their soda fix at all hours of the day. Whether customers need a sweet drink in the morning to start the day, an afternoon pick me up or an evening caffeine boost for a night of studying, soda is available.
