The Story

Two blocks from the river in Fountain City, the Corner Store keeps a small marble fountain going amid shelves of gifts. Bikers on the Great River Road stop for malts and stay for the view.

    This charming spot is an absolute gem in Fountain City! From the moment you walk through the door, you are greeted with a nostalgic, cozy atmosphere that instantly makes you feel right at home. We had a fantastic malt and several delicious coffees, which were the perfect afternoon treat.Beyond the fountain, the gift shop is a treasure trove, and we ended up purchasing several beautiful shirts that we love. What truly made our visit special was the outstanding service from Mike and Mijo. Their genuine hospitality, warmth, and kindness set this place apart. It is clear they pour their hearts into everything they do. If you are passing through Fountain City, do yourself a favor and stop by. This wonderful local business deserves all the stars!

    Delightful spot and a must stop on the Great River Road…..a step back in time as one can enjoy soda fountain classics, old time candy, local lore and decor, lots of fun and local items to shop for. Small stack of games in one wants to hang out for a while. Very friendly service from the proprietor. Don’t miss this place!! I loved the strawberry shortcake fountain soda, and my mama is still raving about the orange creamsicle soda. 🥤

    We recently stopped at the Corner Store with a large group of friends, and it was a delightful experience. Almost everyone ordered something different—from floats and shakes to cones and specialty drinks—and every single person raved about what they got. The service was friendly, efficient, and welcoming, even with our large group. The soda fountain is a fun addition to Fountain City, and the gift shop has unique items to browse while you enjoy your treat. We'll definitely be back!
