Downtown St. Petersburg will be home to the third location of soda pop and candy shop Rocket Fizz.
According to a social media post by Rocket Fizz’s Clearwater shop, the new location will be at the 600 Block space that was once home to Daddy Kool Records (in April, the long-running record shop moved to the Warehouse Arts District due to rising rents). Rocket Fizz has another location in Wesley Chapel.
St. Pete Rising says that the 1,300 square-foot location’s transformation from a place to rock to a place where teeth rot should be complete by October.
