The Rocket Fizz Grand Opening Celebration on Saturday, January 28th, was a fun-filled family extravaganza! The event was complete with a Balloon artist, and a soda tasting from their amazing and unique assortment of soda flavors! There was also a guessing game taffy contest featuring a jar full of 447 pieces of Rocket Fizz’s salt water taffy (and over 90 flavors!). The taffy contest winner was four-year-old James Murphy who guessed a total of 452 pieces of taffy. He got the entire jar of taffy as well as a $25 gift certificate!

When you walk into Rocket Fizz, the feeling of nostalgia immediately hits you as you’re sucked back in time to when you were growing up as a kid. Their candy and soda selections are iconic and fill you up with the warmest, sweetest memories from your childhood. They also sell foreign candy, gag gifts, concert posters, movie posters and tin signs too. It’s the perfect store for the entire family to indulge in their favorite treats. While on a ski trip in Lake Tahoe, local owner Carolyn Johnson visited a Rocket Fizz and immediately thought it would be a great idea to bring the concept to Loudoun County; and she was right! It is a fun, family-friendly concept that’s new and different from the other stores in the area. The soda tasting experiment was a big hit with children and parents alike during the grand opening celebration. The looks on customer’s faces as they sampled some of Rocket Fizz’s most unique and peculiar flavors of soda – like “apple pie” and “bacon” – were priceless!

Rocket Fizz was founded in 2007 by Rob Powells and Ryan Morgan. Their original flagship store opened in Camarillo, California in 2009. In under five years, Rocket Fizz has become the largest and fastest growing soda pop and candy shop franchise brand in America. Since each franchise is carefully selected by the owners, this new Leesburg location was specifically chosen with the community in mind.
