Rocket Fizz

There's an old joke that goes "the person who invented the wheel was smart. The person who invented the other three was a genius." I think the same can be said for soda.

Whether you grew up in the 1920s, or the 2020s, Uncle Buddy's Toy Stash has something for you.

A quick stop in to Rocket Fizz on Small Business Saturday for one-of-a-kind treats and wacky stocking stuffers could help some furry friends find a warm, loving home just in time for the holidays.

"Necco Wafers were a top seller when we had them during our first six months of being open."

Three different pairing times. Only $10 a ticket. Totally doable.

So whether you're running in to Central City Tap for a gift card, squaring away your kid's teachers at Pop City Popcorn, or stocking up on stocking-stuffers at Rocket Fizz, you can park close to the Kalamazoo Mall businesses without shelling out a shilling.

Tom Holmer, co-owner of Rocket Fizz Kalamazoo ran in to a crazy problem. People kept approaching him and asking when the store was going to open. "It's been open for months!" he would reply. And that got him thinking... how many people don't know they're open? Why not hold a 3 1/2 Month-aversary to get the word out? What a whimsical idea for such a whimsical place!

According to their Facebook page, they are looking for people with evening and weekend availability, great customer service skills, and a willingness to "taste unique candies and soda flavors and make recommendations."

Last year it was announced that Kalamazoo was getting a Rocket Fizz location. After an issue with their planned location, The store has announced a new location and opening date.

If you are a fan of candy stores and different kinds of soda get excited as Rocket Fizz is coming to Kalamazoo.
