What You Need to Run an Old-fashioned Soda Counter
Anyone who has watched the movie "Grease" or "Back to the Future" knows what a 50s style soda fountain shop looks like. These colorful diners always had great pop music playing and, with the draw of fun soda and ice cream choices as well as giant bubblegum machines, the local soda shop and its swivel bar stools became the number one after school hangout. If you are someone who has great memories of dancing to the jukebox music on a Saturday night or you just love all the milkshake and soda flavors from the 50s and the 60s, then you should try to recreate that fun atmosphere in the current century. You should run your own old-fashion soda counter!
The first challenge will to be to recreate the look of the diner. This task might seem difficult at first, but if you do some research on the internet, you will find the furniture you need in no time. The two most signature pieces of furniture in a diner are colorful, vinyl covered booths and counter stools. These stools usually have red seats and are supported by a single chrome pole fastened to the floor. Between these red swivel bar stools and colorful booths, you are well on your way to recreating the atmosphere of the 50s. Add a jukebox and a few old fashioned Coca-Cola advertisements and you are set!
Now you need to work on the menu. If you plan to exclusively be a soda shop and ice cream counter, then you need to have everything from the traditional root beer float to crazy creations like the Elvis Shake (peanut butter, marshmallows, and banana). Have at least eight permanent flavors of ice cream and then rotate the other flavors so that your customers always have something new to try. Experiment with different types of shakes as well. Encourage people to try a Dr. Pepper float or a "green frog," a float made from vanilla ice cream and green river- a lime-flavored soda!
Owning your own old-fashioned soda counter is a large amount of work but it can be extremely fun. As long as you have the red bar stools, Elvis records, and delicious ice cream shakes and malts, your soda fountain will be a success! Everyone loves a fun shop like this one so good luck starting your own!
