Pops
Arcadia, OK
A Route 66 gas station where a wall of more than 700 soda flavors wraps around a modern diner, while a 66-foot illuminated soda bottle towers over the pumps outside.
Pops turns an everyday fuel stop into a specialty soda store, full restaurant and oversized Route 66 roadside landmark.
Field notes
Why it belongs
Gas station, enormous specialty soda selection, full diner and a 66-foot illuminated bottle sculpture operating as one Route 66 destination.
A routine fuel stop becomes soda shopping, a full diner visit and an encounter with monumental illuminated roadside architecture on the same property.
Pops sits directly on Historic Route 66 in Arcadia, combining an active filling station with a specialty soda store and modern roadside diner. Current first-party material advertises more than 700 soda flavors arranged across the glass-walled building, while the restaurant serves burgers, shakes and other road-food staples on its own schedule. Outside, a 66-foot steel soda bottle filled with more than 4,000 LEDs turns the property into a nighttime roadside landmark. The store, restaurant and weekend breakfast schedules remain distinct rather than being flattened into one set of hours.
