Lopez Island

Old-Fashioned Soda Fountain

 

Coca-Cola has a long history of being associated with pharmacies. It was invented by pharmacist John Pemberton on 1886 and has been served in many “drug store soda fountains” ever since.

        Continuing the tradition by Ron and Karen Buckmaster, current Lopez pharmacists Marge and Rick McCoy have recreated this old-fashioned soda fountain with the help of craftsman Dave Stratton. We wish to honor a simpler time in pharmacy when friends could gather together at the neighborhood drug store for not only their medicine, but also good food and good conversation.

        The “good food” and wonderful treats are the masterful handiwork of Nella Burt, proprietor of the Soda Fountain. Your taste buds will be happy.

        We have created the atmosphere and supplied the food; we’ll let you add in a smile and the lively conversation.

         So, feel free to stop by anytime. The Soda Fountain is open at 8:00am Monday thru Saturday (closed Sunday). Breakfast is served from 8:00am to 11:00am.  Lunch and wonderful fountain treats are served all day long.  Come and enjoy.
