Proposing a Lifestyle That Makes Soda More Approachable



Founded in 1903, SodaStream is a manufacturer that sells its home carbonation machine, "SodaStream," in over 60,000 stores across 45 countries. It first arrived in Japan in 2011. The ability to easily enjoy freshly made soda at home, and to create sparkling beverages with preferred syrups, quickly became a topic of conversation.

In Los Angeles, a hub for food trends, a lifestyle of quenching thirst with refreshing soda has taken root in recent years. Styles that mix vegetables and fruits, or add flavors mid-drink, are reportedly gaining popularity.










The newly opened "SodaStream in BC426" embraces this Los Angeles style, allowing customers to enjoy soda in their own preferred way. The interior is designed to evoke both excitement and relaxation, perfect for spending time with friends. In addition to dine-in and takeout menus, an experience booth will be available for customers to customize their own sodas with their favorite flavors.

The menu features 30 types of "L.A. style" sodas, a new sensation mixing vegetables, fruits, and herbs, alongside 26 "SodaStreamFlavor" options using customizable syrups. Unique new-wave soda drinks abound, including the popular "Cucumber Lemonade" for the health-conscious, the "Rhubarb Strawberry Soda" using the 주목-worthy herb rhubarb, and the "Strawberry Lemonade on Ice" enjoyed with strawberry ice cream. Carbonation strength can be adjusted in three levels, and takeout is also available.













For food, the menu includes plates like hamburgers and hot dogs, which pair perfectly with soda. Side dishes offer choices such as the popular Los Angeles kale salad and sweet potato fries. The venue is poised to become a talking point as a place to experience the latest trends from Los Angeles.
