My sister and I have re-opened a beautiful soda fountain/restaurant/candy store in Tuscola, Illinois. In 1901 my Greek immigrant grandfather began his confectionary business in little downtown Tuscola, and the store remained in our family through the 1970’s. After my family left the business, the building fell into pretty horrible disrepair; however, the gorgeous, original fixtures were saved off site. My sister and I recently purchased the building, the fixtures, repaired the building and returned to the family business. We opened last fall, and have enjoyed making chocolates and sodas and lunch for thousands of people who have discovered or re-discovered us.

Great website and a really neat thing You and your sister did!
Candy/soda fountains are a dying breed, it is really neat to see that You and your sister are helping to keep this American Institution alive!
I was born and raised in Niles, borned in 1951, Back when I was a kid, there was 3 candy/soda shops, here in Niles. Now there is only one left and it is now only a candy store! Yes, it is really great that You bought this store back!
