In 2006 Mark and Tacy Lewis bought the Buena Vista Shell Station and decided they would like to try something completely original and unexpected. To this end they converted the station convenience store into a nostalgic 1940’s soda and sweet shop. When you visit them today you can take a trip down memory lane as you browse their great collection of vintage sodas, sweets, fudge and other candies. They also serve hand-scooped Blue Bell Ice Cream (made the old-fashioned way), home-brewed iced tea and a wonderful choice of glass-bottled sodas from all over the country. Allow yourself plenty of time – there are more than 200 vintage candies to discover.
