Perhaps even more of a treasure than all the store's trinkets is its authentic soda fountain and lunch counter at the back of the store that has seen generations upon generations of Medfielders visit.

According to Theresa Knapp's December article, "," everything at the counter is original – including the original Coke machine from 1940 and the diner stools – except for the black-and-white checked tiles and the Formica countertop. The counter is now subleased to Lou's Coffee Sensation.
