K-C Drugs features an old fashion soda fountain, serving malts, shakes, sundaes, sodas, cold drinks, coffee, hot chocolate, etc. This fountain is truly a treasure and you owe it to yourself to step back in time and enjoy one of these wonderful old time treats.

I hadn’t had an old fashioned soda fountain soda for years… many years. My memory recalled how delicious they were… the dark, rich chocolate… the bite of the soda water… the smoothness of the ice cream… But, things are never as good as you remember them. It’s always so disappointing. Still, I just had to try one. It’s very rare to see a soda fountain anymore and I just couldn’t pass the opportunity no matter how much I would be disappointed. The syrup gushed from the pump into the glass… more syrup… then the sparkling water bubbled in… and ice cream. I used the straw to coax the syrup from the inside of the glass into a mix with the sodawater and melting ice cream. Then I took that first sip… It was even better than the memory!
If you’re anywhere around Toledo Bend Lake, scoot into the town square of Hemphill, Texas and find K-C Drugs and visit their old-fashioned soda fountain and treat yourself to a memory – or if you’re not old enough to remember this kind of soda – make a memory for yourself! They’re open Monday – Friday; closed Saturday and Sunday. They have a great lunch, too!
