The Pop Shop has two locations -- in Collingwood and Medford. It has an award-winning menu that delivers a captivating collection of American comfort foods. It is its very own interpretation of an old-school fountain shop, boasting nostalgic elements and kid-friendly attractions. The theme translates through its logotype, decor, and interior murals throughout the location. The Pop Shop does not intend to recreate a throwback setting, but rather a place that recalls nostalgic thoughts and predicts its future steps.
The location still has the original store's stainless steel doors, as well as its tin ceilings above. Complete with bubble gum hues and eye-catching photo murals, there are 50s-style leather booths, with metal tables and a 40s-influenced soda fountain. The menu options are just as eclectic as its decor, with all-day breakfast selections, build-your-own-burgers, cold sandwiches, incredible milkshakes, 40 different grilled cheese options, and more.
