McMahon’s Soft Drinks back for a final run

The taste of summers past… makes a welcome return

McMahon’s Soft Drinks was started by Mr Frank McMahon in a small rented factory in Martin Street Ipswich in 1934. By 1940 Frank bought the factory and adjoining buildings to expand operations. Over time, sons Jim and Peter joined the family business. In 1977, after having survived the 1974 floods which inundated the Martin Street site, the business moved to a larger and more modern factory at Wulkuraka. With a home delivery service, McMahon’s Soft Drinks were an iconic brand in Ipswich and widely known throughout the region. As the soft drink market changed and became dominated by supermarkets and multi-nationals, the business ceased operating in 1991. The original factory at 1 Martin Street Ipswich is now home to an indoor swim school – McMahon’s Swim Factory.

We are excited to announce a third and final run of the soft drinks this year. Cartons of 24 x 300ml bottles of Sarsaparilla, NEThing and Creaming Soda soft drink are now for sale, with funds raised supporting the vital work of Ipswich Hospice Care.
