If you're looking for anything related to sodas or soft drinks, a gift, or just something unique, check out this little store in downtown. It's located on the eastern edge of downtown in the old pharmacy building and is a fairly small space but it's packed full of all soda-related merchandise and collectibles. The owner formerly ran the Coca-Cola plant in town and is very versed on the history of all things soda. He mainly has Coke and Dr Pepper items, but he also has numerous other brands, whether it be Grapette, Hires, Mellow Yellow, Yoo-Hoo, this guy has quite a collection.
I've visited the store a couple of times to look at his root beer memorabilia and on the 2nd visit purchased an old metal sign from the 1940s. He gave me a seemingly good deal on it too after a little bargaining and him sweetening the pot with a few other small items.
Great guy, that is very, very knowledgeable about all things soda. read more
