medicinal to treats and the
fountains began to expand
into lunch counters to serve
meals and bring in more
diners.
The height of popular-
ity for the soda fountain
was during the early 20th
century with a peak in the
1940s and 1950s when
patrons could socialize,
drink and eat at the count-
er. As the country mobi-
lized, the drive-throughs
and drive-in restaurants
overtook the popularity
of the soda fountain, and
the sought-after spots be-
came novelties.
In Hermiston, the nov-
elty has yet to wear off.
When the photo albums
come out, customers and
staff gather round to look
over the photos and clip-
pings. None of the books
include a date of when the
soda fountain opened.
The store currently be-
longs to Bob and Linda
Mullay, who purchased
the business in 2000 from
Jack Sobotta and Jer-
ry Sobotta. The Sobot-
ta brothers ran the store
for almost three decades,
and Jerry Sobotta and
his wife, Kay, still stop
into the fountain for their
morning coffee.

Customers Judy Meyer, from left, Kay Sobotta, Jerry Sobotta
and JoKn Price samSle cent coffee at tKe soda fountain at
Hermiston Drug.
Jerry, sipping coffee
from his seat at the count-
er, looks around the spot
and reminisces.
“I was here when
they remodeled it in the
1960s,” he said. “This
part used to be a sta-
tionary store, and they
knocked the wall down.
I think the soda fountain
was already here and they
moved it over when they
expanded.”
The Sobottas come
in almost every Tues-
day morning to talk with
friends and sample the
15-cent donuts and coffee
available for Senior Citi-
zen Day.
“And they make great
coffee,” Kay Sobotta said.
While the customers
reminisce and catch up
over coffee and donuts,
Bobbie Picker and Robin
Gallanger keep the foun-
tain running from behind
the counter. Homemade
pies come out of the
kitchen each day, along-
side specials like meat-
loaf with mashed potatoes
and gravy.
“I get to make pies
from scratch and cook
specials,” Picker said.
“It’s awesome. Some
days, the lunch counter is
so full you’d have a hard
time getting a seat.”
The fountain serves
milkshakes, coffee, and
Coca-Cola
products
alongside malts in four
