“Get Your Groove on in Hop Shops Disco Bathroom – Where Every Trip is a Dance Party!”
“We believe that even the most mundane parts of life should be fun, so we’ve transformed our bathroom into a disco. Our goal is to add a little joy to people’s lives and make every trip to the bathroom a dance party!”

The bathrooms are newly remodeled, but what makes them the “Coolest” is, the unexpected Red Button on the wall and the sign that says, “Do Not Push the Red Button”, which makes you want to push it even more.  Then when you can’t resist any longer, you push it! The lights go down, the music starts, the colorful spotlights come on, and the Disco ball starts spinning.  You can dance and bust some moves.  It is hilarious! 

In March of 2022, Damon Bail, VP of Retail Marketing and Operations with Valor Oil, shared this idea with us:  “The Disco Bathroom with The Red Button”.  Talk about surprise and delight, this was it!  We thought it was very cool and unexpected.  But how could we do it?  He didn’t let go of the idea.  He started asking around.  He found the resources and experts to make it happen. 

February 17th, 2023 in Verona, KY -The First HOP Shops Disco Bathrooms Launch!

For those that like to push buttons just to see what they do (you know who you are) …they will NOT be able to resist. The Disco Bathroom has already brought joy to many.  Customers come out of the bathroom with a huge smile, as they walk swiftly to get their friends and family to experience it too.  Verona Hop Shops Store Manager, Heather Taylor, says they have had a phenomenal response.  Customer’s videos shared on TikTok and YouTube have gone viral with over 50 million views. 

We invite you to celebrate with us!  Dance with us!  Laugh with us!  Experience the Coolest Bathrooms.
