One of the popular fads in Utah is the soda shop: a drive-through place that sells fun sodas. Regardless of time of day or weather, soda shops are often seen with long drive-through lines. Five main soda shop companies compete for customers in Utah (Swig, Fiiz Drinks, Sodalicious, Twisted Sugar, and Quench It!). Many smaller one-off shops have also jumped onto the soda shop bandwagon. The different soda shops all sell popular sodas (i.e. Dr. Pepper, Coke, Pepsi, Mountain Dew, and Root Beer with diet options), have a large selection of flavors to add into the sodas, and range from 12 or 16oz. to 44oz. for sizes. If the soda shops are quite similar, why have five different big companies and which one has captured the largest share of customers in Utah? This web app seeks to answer those questions by comparing the five main soda shop companies: where they are located across the state, what menu differences exist between the shops, and which is most prominent statewide and by county.*
