context_page_description: The Pop Shoppe is a soft drink retailer originating in 1969 at London, Ontario, by Gary Shaw in Canada. The Pop Shoppe avoided using traditional retail channels, selling its pop through franchised outlets and its own stores in refillable bottles in 24-cartons.
context_section_description: Burlington businessman Brian Alger re-established The Pop Shoppe brand in 2004. By mid-2004, bottles of Pop Shoppe pop were sold through stores using conventional retail distribution, rather than company-owned outlets. They are also available in restaurants.
  Many of the original flavours returned, with a new marketing approach based on nostalgia. The glass bottles are of a new design and are no longer refillable. They are, however, refundable in provinces that operate province-run recycle centres. The Pop Shoppe uses reclaimed glass in the making of new bottles. The corporate headquarters of the new Pop Shoppe is located in Stoney Creek, Ontario
  The new Pop Shoppe flavours are Black Cherry, cola, cream soda, Grape, Lime Ricky (non-alcoholic), orange, pineapple and root beer.
  In 2009, The Pop Shoppe brought back the classic Stubby style bottle that was popular in Canada during the 1970s.
  In 2012, The Pop Shoppe announced that they were replacing corn syrup with cane sugar in all of their beverages.
  In 2016, The Pop Shoppe was acquired by Beverage World.
