Rocket Fizz

Love the concept! Huge variety of sodas and candies. It’s a bit overpriced but I think that comes with these types of shops and the area.
My main concern was the service. The staff working on a Saturday afternoon did not seem particularly organized or friendly. My mother in law attempted to purchase a lunch box but was unable to buy it at the price marked on the item. That was a sale lost due to lack of training (the employee was unable to change the price in the system).
We will probably be back for more treats and hope the service improves.

Amazing place with an enormous verity of candy and gag gifts! The people that work there love what they do and it shows.

Such a fun candy shop. Stopped in with my husband and daughter and we had a blast. Lots of taffy flavors to choose from as well as different types of soda. They have the normal versions of cola and even as wild as Buffalo wings or ranch. Staff was very friendly, definitely a place to check out.

Great selection of soda and candy. They even have imported items (which is always a plus). He staff is super helpful and nice. Would return more if they were closer to my location.

SUPER cute little candy shop! They have vintage toys, candies and knick knacks. My entire family loves this new local spot. My sister loves coming for the drinks and root beer. My son could spend hoursss in here if I let him. The only thing I think would make it amazing of there was some kind of seating inside or outside. There is a bench but there is always someone sitting on it. Granted it is winter now but maybe when the warmer seasons return it would be nice to have some outdoor seating. Plus it would make me stay and purchase more.

I have been to a few of the Rocket Fizz stores throughout the Midwest and this one is my favorite. The staff is really friendly and the products are great, per usual. We were very impressed that the staff, when asked, is very willing to look up items on the computer or help you locate in person. Great customer service!

Rocket Fizz is a cool place to get gifts or just a new type of candy. Although there is a variety of candies to choose from, everything is way over priced! Also, the workers aren’t welcoming, nobody comes around to check if you need help shopping for a particular thing. Would recommend going to a different candy shop.

This place is unbelievable. Between the memorabilia, the trinkets, as well as the overwhelming selection of candies and sodas, I can’t imagine any police in the area that would beat this.
This place is difficult to describe, you really just have to experience it. Get in here.

Store has a cool look but the prices are way too high for what you get. Not worth it at all.

Neat place. Very diverse selection of bottled sodas and candy you never see anywhere. If you’re in the area, you have to stop once

What a fun store! We took our children here to spend some money they earned doing chores and they were enthralled! The selection of candy, soda, gum and wacky gag items entertained the whole family. We walked out with a variety of sweets, a couple of cap guns and some prank gum. I thought the prices were fair and the staff was very friendly and helpful. We don’t often buy candy/​junk but this was a fun treat and we will be back!

Saw an episode of Tanked that featured this place, and was excited to see a location opening nearby. Took my family on Friday night. Cool place, but very overpriced. Paid $ 7.99 for a 4 pack of soda, and $ 5.99 for a tiny bag of taffy. Now we can say, been there, done that, and don’t need to go back. Also, the sales staff never greeted anyone, and it seemed like they were breathing down every one in the stores necks. Felt like I was being followed… it was weird ! For a much better option try Cheryl’s candy and popcorn in Naperville on Rte. 59. Definitely worth the drive, super friendly couple that owns it, crazy good popcorn, and tons of nostalgic candy.

Just letting you know of a bad experience I had at Rocket Fizz. I recently went to the St. Charles location and purchased Strawberry Cream Oreo Soft Cookies which were imported from Japan. At some point either before I purchased it (either during the shipping process or in unloading them at the store) they were badly crushed. Every cookie I unwrapped was crumbled in pieces and impossible to handle/​eat as one would a cookie. When I called the store to see if I could either get a refund or store credit I was told that would be impossible since I might have crushed them. While it is Rocket Fizz’s prerogative to not give refunds on items, it doesn’t sit well with me as a regular customer (who plunked down $ 9 on a bag of crushed inedible Oreos) that they not accept my word that it was defective on purchase. Would like to warn other customers to be careful of what they are buying. In the event that the item is crushed or disturbed, you won’t be dealing with understanding staff.

A cute place to shop around in. A star off because it seemed a little bit overpriced. Im mad i didn’t get to try the virgils root beer (⁸⁄₁₀ on
) but by the time I saw it we had already paid and i figured I would be back.

My husband and I went in on a Sunday afternoon and they were busy! Granted, it was a nice sunny day and it’s a new store. The store is long and I believe it used to be a bar, but now it is a candy store. All the employees we came into contact with were very cordial and friendly, but not pushy.
They have tons and tons of different candy, chocolates, toys and gifts as well as tons of different varieties of pop. Yes, this is the place to find bacon flavored cotton candy to go along with your bacon flavored carbonated beverage. While I have had maple bacon potato chips, I believe that is where I draw the line. I’m not really a fan of pop anyway. I love my carbonated beverages, but the sweetness not so much. Anyway, pricing on the pop was 4 bottles for $ 7.99 or $ 2.79 per bottle. Prices increased with amount, but I didn’t investigate that much.
We didn’t end up buying anything. Surprisingly enough, a lot of the things found in this store can be found at the local grocery store for a lot less of the cost. We found a bag of aussie licorice for $ 6.99! Something we had just got from Woodman’s last week for $ 2.99! Most of the «larger» bags of candy were $ 6.99. Some of the chocolate bars were $ 6.99. That seemed to be the average price in there.
Toys and games were similarly priced. We laughed at a «crazy cat lady» toy, but scoffed at the $ 19.99 price tag.
Basically, this is a cute little story with tons of great gift ideas and would be a good place to get some toys for a last minute gift. However, just a bit on the pricey side, not something we would go to on a regular basis. I feel like the only thing that’s missing on the inside is an ice cream shop, which would be a cute addition.
Four stars because it’s a cute shop, but not 5 due to the cost of items.
