Hoskins Drug Store & Soda Fountain
Clinton, TN
A family-run Clinton pharmacy where prescriptions, medical supplies and gifts share a 1947 Main Street building with a working breakfast-and-lunch grill and authentic soda fountain.
Hoskins combines an operating pharmacy and medical-supply business with a remarkably intact small-town soda fountain and grill.
Field notes
Why it belongs
Working pharmacy, medical-supply store, gift shop, breakfast-and-lunch grill and authentic 1947 soda fountain in one historic downtown storefront.
Few active pharmacies also preserve a mid-century fountain where visitors can sit down for breakfast, lunch, ice cream and drinks in the same store.
The Hoskins family has operated its Clinton drug business since 1930 and opened the current Main Street location in 1947. Today the building still joins an active pharmacy, medical supplies and gifts to a soda fountain and grill serving breakfast, lunch, ice cream and fountain drinks. The medical-supply operation also extends into 101 North Main next door, but this listing centers on the public 111 North Main drug store and fountain rather than treating the expansion as another destination.
