Swig Brings the First Dirty Soda Stop to Louisiana with Lafayette Opening

Acadiana residents will soon be able to enjoy a new and refreshing option at The Forum in Lafayette, as Swig, the original creator of the “dirty soda” craze, is set to open its first-ever Louisiana location. The soda shop, known for its creative soda mixes and speedy service, has leased Suite 100, conveniently located next to F45, making it a prime stop for anyone looking for a quick drink.

This opening marks a milestone for Swig as it continues its rapid expansion across the U.S., bringing its signature twist on classic soft drinks to a new audience in Lafayette. Swig combines sodas with unique flavor additions like syrups, creams, and fruit purees, creating their famous "dirty sodas."

With over 80 locations already, this Lafayette store is their latest opening for the growing brand, and the first step into the Louisiana market.

"We are thrilled to bring Swig to Lafayette and become a part of The Forum's exciting community," said Michele Ezell of Keaty Real Estate, who represents Swig. "With its drive-thru service and prime location next to F45, Swig offers a refreshing and fast option for busy Acadiana residents."

The Forum, a $50 million development project led by local entrepreneurs Derek Curry, Alejandro Luna, and Terry Crochet, aims to be more than just a shopping center.

Featuring spaces designed for live events and community gatherings, the ultimate vision is to be a cultural and retail hub for the region. Swig will only boost the Forum's growing reputation as a premier destination for both residents and visitors.

As Lafayette continues to attract unique businesses, Swig’s presence is just the latest example of the area’s growing appeal for new brands.

Locals can look forward to enjoying a “dirty soda” on the go, whether it’s after a workout at F45, shopping at nearby local retail spots, or during one of The Forum’s community events.

Swig at The Forum is expected to open in the coming months. Keep an eye out for details on its grand opening celebration, which will definitely make a splash with Acadiana soda lovers.
