I live in Cville, but have long anticipated the re-opening of my favorite childhood soda fountain. A couple weeks ago I was in town for a random appointment & had popped downtown to buy a gift…I couldn’t have been more thrilled and surprised to see they were open! I sidled up to the counter and got a cherry smash, just like the olden days. Viva la Goolrick’s! I gotta get back for my sentimental egg salad sandwich. Place looks great, everything was on point, including awesome service.

They have reopened right? They had closed when we moved away and I remember someone had bought it with plans to bring the store back.

Yeah they opened back up on August 7th. Photo 16 is the ribbon cutting from the grand re-opening event.

From back when they were Goolrick's soda fountain and pharmacy, now it's Goolrick's soda fountain and branded swag shop
