The business was established in Blackpool, in 1934 by sole trader, William Herbert Simpson. The primary focus of the business was selling natural fruit squashes door-to-door. This grew into a large delivery network from Fleetwood, across the Fylde to Preston over the next 30 years. In the 1970s, the business sold its delivery business, in response to market conditions, and changed its focus to post mix drinks and slush syrups. In 1984 the business moved to its current home in Chiswick Grove, Blackpool.
