ON THIS DAY IN PRINCE GEORGE HISTORY โ JUNE 9If you were a kid in Prince George, there was a good chance one of the greatest sounds in the world was the clink of glass bottles rattling around in a plastic crate.On June 9, The Pop Shoppe opened its Prince George depot, promising something pretty revolutionary for the time: lower soft drink prices and the freedom to mix and match your favourite flavours.Root beer? Sure.Cream soda?
Absolutely.Black cherry? Why not grab a few.For many local families, a trip to The Pop Shoppe wasn't just shopping. It was an event. Kids would carefully choose their bottles, parents would carry the heavy crate to the car, and everyone knew those empties were too valuable to throw away.Long before giant warehouse stores and endless beverage aisles, there was something special about walking into a place dedicated entirely to pop.And if you grew up here, you probably remember exactly which flavour was always the first to disappear from the
crate.So let's settle an important Prince George debate:What was your Pop Shoppe flavour of choice?Cream Soda?
Black Cherry?
Root Beer?
Grape?
Lime Rickey?
