One year ago, Swizzle Market started as just three shelves in a co-working space. Today, it’s a thriving alcohol-free bottle shop, a business incubator, and a community hub redefining how people drink, shop, and connect.
In this debut episode of Swizzle & Sip, founder Crystal Vann Wallstrom shares the raw and real story behind Swizzle—how it started as a mix of desperation and inspiration, why she made the leap from services to product-based entrepreneurship, and how a single decision to stop drinking changed everything.
We dive into:
The surprising challenges of launching an AF bottle shop
Why starting small (with three shelves) led to something much bigger
The growing need for alcohol-free options and how Swizzle is filling that gap
The role of inclusivity, community, and mindful shopping in today’s consumer landscape
If you’ve ever wondered how to turn an idea into a business, questioned your own relationship with alcohol, or simply love hearing behind-the-scenes entrepreneurial stories, this is the episode for you.
