Hi friends!
Dirty soda is popping up EVERYWHERE lately… from big chains to new local shops, it seems like everyone is joining the fun. 🥤✨
And honestly? We LOVE to see it.
A lot of people assume competition is scary for a small business, but for us seeing dirty soda become more popular is nothing but exciting! More shops opening means more people discovering fun drinks, supporting local businesses, and creating little places for community to happen. That’s something we can always get behind.
If a new soda shop opens nearby, there’s a good chance we’ll go support it ourselves. Big chains adding dirty soda menus? Of course we’re trying them too. 😉 At the end of the day, every shop brings its own flavor and personality to the table.
What makes Sips special has never just been the drinks. It’s the people.
We’re here because YOU choose to stop by. Because you support a small family business. Because you chat with us at the window, tell us about your day, bring your kids by after school, or make us part of your routine. We opened Sips in Clever to be part of this community, and the connections we’ve made mean more to us than you know.
Every shift leaves us with a funny story, a sweet conversation, or a reminder of why we started this in the first place.
So no matter how many dirty soda spots pop up around us, we’ll always cheer them on. We will continue to support small businesses and focus on what matters most: serving our community and making people smile one drink at a time.
💛 -The Gertisers
