Soda shop opens on West 21st Street

Some Clovis residents’ appreciation of soda has led to the creation of a soda shop business.

“The Fountain,” 616 W. 21st Street, is run by partners Elizabeth Larsen, Robyn Mender and Jennifer Standing.

“The type of soda mix-ins we offer are really popular in our home states, and so we wanted to bring the concept to the area,” Larsen wrote in an email.

Larsen described how the shop will go about its business.

“People come inside or at the drive-thru, and order from our menu,” Larsen wrote.

She described The Fountain’s beverages as being good “for a quick, delicious, and convenient pick-me-up throughout the day.

“Our staff are friendly, kind, and work hard to get orders out as quickly as possible. We pride ourselves in our customer service and hope that our visitors find their visit to The Fountain to be a bright spot in their day,” Larsen wrote.

Larsen said items on the menu include their specialty soda mixes, snacks, pretzel bites and churros.

“Customers can pick from our soda options ranging from sparkling water to ‘Monsters’ and then choose to add mix-ins. We offer a large variety of flavored syrups, fruit pureés, fresh citrus, and cream,” Larsen wrote.

Larsen said the soda shop is located on the far west side of the Hi-Winds Shopping Center, just the Allsup’s at Thornton Street. The Fountain’s drive-thru is on the far west side of the Hi-Winds Shopping Center.

“We are open Monday through Saturday, 9 a.m. to 9 p.m.,” Larsen wrote.
