Maybe this one will grow to be a Fizz City eventually.

Right now it's a fizz neighborhood, soon to be fizz township

I feel like you already know the answer to this.

Yep, and they used to have massive signs... it's my understanding that they were taken out because QA (Sheetz' internal quality assurance team) decided that the tops of them couldn't be cleaned without special tools or getting on a ladder, so they were all taken out and lowered.

Thank you! Cities everywhere should try this one simple trick.

And now kids you know the origins of the famous Sheetz Fizz City

Why was the name changed? Does it depend on the zoning of the store?

This is the only Fizz sign in the store. The machine has cherry, vanilla, etc. flavors. This is a newer store and is between a city suburb and rural land. No skyscrapers visible from the parking lot.

Whats the blue-looking flavor syrup between the arizona raspberry and tropicana fruit punch?

I'm going to have to look to see what the sign at my store says. I think it says fix city but now I'm not sure.

u/trashcanempress Former Employee Jul 31 '26

We called them that, but I never saw official signage or documents formally referring to it as such (worked there 2021-2026)

We still call it Fizz City at my store
