The Burley
Soda Fountain

A Little Nostalgia in Every Sip

Step up to the counter and take a trip back to the classic American soda fountain. Inspired by the nostalgic drink counters of the 1930s, 1940s, and 1950s, The Burley Soda Fountain is a place to slow down, enjoy a treat, and make memories together.

Sustainability
Meets
Nostalgia

The Burley Soda Fountain is part of what makes our general store different.

Our goal is to create a place where sustainability and nostalgia can exist side by side. We believe making thoughtful choices does not mean giving up the simple pleasures that make life memorable.

A handcrafted soda. A shared milkshake. A float after shopping. A conversation around the counter. Sometimes the smallest moments become the ones you remember most.

More Than a Drink

The Soda Fountain began with a prayer and a simple question: What could we do with an existing bar space?

The answer became something we believe our community was missing, a place where people could gather, kids could enjoy a special treat, and ordinary moments could turn into lasting memories.

There is something special about sitting at a soda fountain counter, talking with friends, watching a drink being made, and taking a little extra time to enjoy it.

That is the experience we wanted to bring to Burley.
