We had a similar soda pop shop open up in Lincoln and it’s such a delight to visit. I’d love to check out this guy’s store. It’s so wonderful that he does business primarily with other companies his size. He’s got a lot of moxie. This is a great video.
From YouTube:
John Nese is the proprietor of Galcos Soda Pop Stop in LA. His father ran it as a grocery store, and when the time came for John to take charge, he decided to convert it into the ultimate soda-lovers destination. About 500 pops line the shelves, sourced lovingly by John from around the world. John has made it his mission to keep small soda-makers afloat and help them find their consumers. Galcos also acts as a distributor for restaurants and bars along the West Coast, spreading the gospel of soda made with cane sugar (no high-fructose corn syrup if John can avoid it).

I was going to go visit this shop next Wednesday when I flew into LA, but it closes at 6:30 and my plane doesn’t get in until 5:00.
