Foxton Fizz
A lot of things have come and gone since 1918. More than 100 summers and Christmas’s, loads of family gatherings, thousands of games of beach cricket, BBQ’s with friends and family, and even more trips to the local shops or café by thirsty kiwis looking for a tasty quencher. Foxton Fizz has always been there - in Foxton.

Over the years the company just kept going – in Foxton, day in and day out. They removed some flavours and brought back others but kept on delivering. At one stage there were over 240 small town kiwi soda drink brands in places like Fairlie and Masterton. When the multinationals came to New Zealand’s shores it looked like they were all doomed. Almost every one of those 240 went out of business and their brand names were lost forever. Foxton Fizz kept on going, doing its own thing in Foxton, day in and day out, always there. Then just when it looked like it might shut down forever
ten friends from Wellington got together and bought the company. Foxton Fizz started being seen in more places like Levin, Otaki, Shannon, and then it started going further to places like Auckland, Christchurch, Whitianga, Taupo and The Chatham Islands. Now Foxton Fizz is almost always there - in cafes, restaurants, Four Squares and supermarkets across New Zealand. Foxton Fizz is in the local place where you get your local thirst quencher, a local Kiwi company that has been delivering day in, day out, since 1918.
