Our Story

“Hello! I’m Patricia France (she/her), proud owner of Soda Pop!

I grew up in Southern California and have lived in the Bay Area (specifically North Bay) for most of my adult life. After a solid 30-year career in tech, I felt compelled to start a new chapter that would bring my passions of creativity, community, family, and self-expression to the forefront of my life. I am overjoyed to finally be opening the store I had always wanted to see in Downtown Novato. Enter Soda Pop: a bright, fun space that welcomes kids and adults to discover conscious, quality, smile-enducing products.

When I’m not working on Soda Pop, I love… 💭
💞 Spending time with my husband, David, and our daughters Chloe (15) and Charlotte (8).
✈️ Traveling and having spontaneous adventures, anywhere and everywhere.
🎨 Being creative: I love interior design, jewelry making, music, and creative expression of all kinds (more on this soon)
