FiiZ Drinks, a soda shop that began in Bountiful, Utah, has opened on Main Gate Square at 904 E. University Blvd.
The space on Main Gate Square used to be a Dunkin and Baskin-Robbins combo, which is found on the corner of University Boulevard and Tyndall Avenue — right next to The Buffalo Spot.
On Saturday, August 24, a long line of students, families, and kids nearly wrapped around the building, eagerly waiting for a so-called “dirty soda.” Dirty sodas are a combination of classic sodas like Coca-Cola or root beer with cream, fruit, and flavored syrups.
There’s actually a lot of drink combinations on the menu.
First, you choose a soda as the base (Coke, Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew, Sprite, or Root Beer), and then you can “dirty” it up with flavored syrups and cream (the cream is optional).
For example, if you’re in the mood to do the Dew, they have concoctions like the Dewlada (Mountain Dew with coconut, pineapple, and cream), a French Dew (comes with French vanilla and cream), and a Ninja Turtle (with blackberry and blur raspberry syrup).
They also serve frozen drinks, caffeinated drinks with Red Bull and Monster, and lemonade.
Aside from sodas and other beverages, Fiiz Drinks is proud of being the “Home of the Chonut.”
“What happens when you cross a churro with a doughnut? You get a wacky name. But oh! That crispy, fluffy, cinnamon deliciousness will leave your taste buds happy.”
Fiiz Drinks is also celebrating its 10th anniversary this year — they’ve now opened at least 60 locations around the U.S.
“The FiiZ vision was born when the Morgan and Anderson families, the original mixologists, came together over a love of creating specialty sodas.”
The new soda shop is open from 8 a.m. – 10 p.m. on Monday-Thursday, 8 a.m. – midnight on Friday, 9 a.m. -midnight on Saturday, and 10 a.m. – 7 p.m. on Sunday.
Fiiz Drinks is located at 904 E. University Blvd. For more information, visit fiizdrinks.com and follow Fiiz Drinks on Instagram.
