Unique Stores in Kansas

Kansas’s current OddStops connect working craft, community retail, soda-fountain tradition, and Route 66 continuity. Moon Marble Company pairs a Bonner Springs toy and marble shop with live glass-marble demonstrations. Batson's Drug Store and Family Market folds a pharmacy, family market, grill, and old-fashioned fountain into one Howard storefront. In the southeast corner, Old Riverton Store continues operating from its 1925 Route 66 building with groceries, sandwiches, souvenirs, and original character. These examples show how production, service, and history overlap here; every current Kansas profile appears below.

  • Old Riverton Store exterior on Route 66 with its market signs, neon trim and flower beds
    KS

    Riverton, KS

    Old Riverton Store

    A 1925 Kansas grocery that survived long enough to become a Route 66 landmark, still making deli sandwiches and selling everyday staples while its former living room fills with road-trip books, gifts, souvenirs and nearly a century of roadside history.

    Old Riverton Store remains a functioning grocery and deli inside its 1925 Route 66 building, mixing sandwiches and everyday necessities with souvenirs, local goods and a remarkably intact roadside-store experience.

  • Exterior of The Mildred Store showing its side mural and hanging Mildred Store sign
    KS

    Mildred, KS

    The Mildred Store

    A tiny-town grocery where meat, deli food and everyday staples occupy the front of a century-old building while the back opens into a stage, sound system and dance hall hosting live country music every third Saturday.

    The Mildred Store keeps a rural grocery alive by turning the same century-old building into a deli, meat market, community gathering place and genuine live-music dance hall.
