The shop's owner said in a video that Pilgrim contacted her about setting up a location in Southington. The original Get Fizzy is at a trailer at the Lowe's in Southington. The owner said that because the two stores are close together, they explored other options, settling on Milford.

Pilgrim is helping to furnish the Milford shop. The cafe space at the store hasn't been used since before the pandemic.

Get Fizzy is also planning to open a Plainville shop. The business will be hiring at both locations.
