Our humble beginnings
As children, cousins Don and Jerry House grew up hearing tales of the (then named) Thompson Drug Store's golden days from their fathers. They spoke of Saturdays in their boyhood when they would ride into town on wagons, excited to trade nickels for sodas and other treats. Though they'd never had such Saturdays themselves, Don and Jerry quickly became just as fond of the place as their fathers were before them.As the years passed, though, the Thompson Drug Store ceased to exist, as did the General Store next to it. The buildings that once housed them both were left to rot side by side.Unable to stand it, Jerry House purchased the General Store, converting it into the Leona General Store Steak House, saving the historic building from ruin. However, for a while, the Drug Store next to it remained empty with no one to save it.After some convincing, Jerry persuaded Don to purchase and save the old Thompson Drug Store.
the story continues
Committed to preserving the history embedded in the Drug Store's walls, Don and his wife, Paula House, had the building fully restored in 2008. With its 1920's look and layout intact, the newly named Leona Drug Store finally opened its doors.A century later, The Leona Drug Store now serves the home of an old-fashioned soda fountain with recipes to match, some of the best ice cream around, a working crank telephone that connects to the General Store next door, and a boutique full of various delights.To pay homage to its roots, Don and Paula House curated a menu full of delicious, 20's era cold treats. The Leona Drug Store proudly serves shakes, malts, floats, banana splits, hot fudge sundaes, limeades, and sodas — all mixed just like they were when Don's father and uncle were boys, excited to spend their nickels.
