The Fizzary Goes Pop

The Fizzary is too weird for words. It’s a big store dedicated to selling soda, with a token display of bulk candy. Basically, it’s a liquor store for children, with 800-some-odd types of soda for sale—a veritable emporium for the discerning future diabetes patient.

It’s wonderful that something like this even exists. Alas, it seems The Fizzary is struggling to stay afloat. After just under two-and-a-half years in business, its owners are scaling back operations and switching up its business model.

According to Hoodline, The Fizzary’s Haight Street location is shut down and the property is listed for rent on Craigslist. The original Mission Street spot is still open, but a change in format is forthcoming:

[The Fizzary’s on Haight] will re-open eventually, but it won’t look the same. [Co-owner Taylor Peck] says one potential rebirth is that they’ll sublease the space to a pop-up, most likely clothing, and add a home delivery element to the soda side of business.

Right now, Peck is “[sorting] things out” in the Mission before revisiting the Haight.
