Moppin' up soda pop rickies To our hearts' delight, Dancing to a swingeroo quickie, Jukebox Saturday night. Pop Tate's Chocklit Shoppe is a fictional soda shop created by Bob Montana as a setting for the characters in his Archie comic books and comic strips. It was based on real-life locations frequented by teenagers in Haverhill, Massachusetts in the 1930s, the Crown Confectionery and the Chocolate Shop on Merrimack Street, and the Tuscarora on Winter Street and the character of Pop Tate was inspired by the Haverhill shops' Greek immigrant owners. In the years 1936 to 1939, when Montana went to high school in Haverhill, he joined his friends at the Chocolate Shop counter and made sketches on napkins. A decade prior to Archie, the Sugar Shop was a hangout for the teenagers in Carl Ed's comic strip Harold Teen.
Soda shops are often settings in films and TV shows. In The Twilight Zone's " Walking Distance" episode, a soda shop is a framing device and a link to the past for Martin Sloan ( Gig Young).
