From KSL.com 1/22/25: On April 2, 2010, Nicole Robison opened a soda shop business in a small building in St. George, hoping to attract customers to a new way of getting their soda fix.
On that day, Swig was born. The operation was simple at first, with Nicole selling basic Coke and Pepsi products before the "Dirty Soda" was added to the menu.
"I really believed that once they tried it, and they felt that Swig experience and felt valued in our line, they would keep wanting to come back and get their drink fix from us," founder Nicole Robison said.
Along with a great product, Nicole wanted a "fast-moving line with amazing customer service."
Now, 14 years later, Swig has 104 soda shops across 14 different states, with a goal to have at least 1,000 locations throughout the country by 2030.
