Only registered users can see links on this board! Get registered or login! in Southwest Airlines in-flight magazine Spirit about Galco's Soda Pop Stop in Los Angeles.

Quote:


John Nese decided in 1995 to devote part of his small Los Angeles grocery store to the fizzy concoctions. Disturbed by the idea that Coke and Pepsi would forever wipe out his beloved rare sodas, Nese started stocking the goods. Along the way, he contacted small soda makers, including many manufacturers who had stopped producing their drinks altogether. If someone remembered the recipe, Nese would track him down and take the formula to an independent bottler.

The result is Galco’s. Every conceivable type of cola—and root beer and egg cream and ginger ale—lines the aisles.

Hmmm...an interesting selection, although a lot of fairly ordinary stuff there. That's about a fifty mile drive each way for me, just within the bounds of reason.

Their pricing seems quite high - 30 - 50% higher than BevMo, my usual source of decent root beers.

I'm sick of hearing about this guy and his over priced soda. He sure does take alot of credit for what other people have handed him. I know where these sodas come from and who helped him to get his start. Seems a shame he wants all the fame.

I tried contacting John two years ago to ask a few questions about the soda business. I got a snub reply and he basically said, "you people quit calling me."

So I did some research and solely went into business to take his from him. $97 for a case of 24 bottles is utterly ridiculous. I can send a case just about anywhere in the US for $50-60. Profit? Who needs it, I'm just happy taking his business.
