Pick Me Up History:

Zac and Amy Martin purchased Pick Me Up from the founder in October 2019. At the time Pick Me Up had a great reputation and was the original Idaho Falls Soda Shop but was just 1 small building in an empty parking lot behind a movie theater and was in desperate need of a remodel. Zac and Amy wasted no time in redesigning and building a new store in the same lot. In March of 2020 Pick Me Up opened on the West side of Idaho Falls and acquired The Sip Shop in Rigby, Idaho as well as Soda Junkies in Shelley, Idaho. We learned so much in going from one location to four. Our focus then was set on defining, organizing and adjusting our systems to be the best they could be. Now in 2022 we are operating a total of 13 locations and currently have 3 operating franchise stores with many more scheduled to open over the next year.

What Makes Pick Me Up Special:

Our organization is a movement and an experience. We strive to become a positive part of the community and a bright spot in our customers’ day. We focus on hiring and training employees with a total focus on an awareness of the customer’s experience being the top priority. So it’s no coincidence that our customer retention is amazing. We utilize school/organization fundraisers, community events, corporate partnerships and handing out free drink cards to extend our reach to new customers.
