The store was established in 2014. Built in 1857, the Olympia Confectionary was owned by CS & Frank Rainwater. Silent films were shown here in the early days. They later added a soda fountain where teenagers met for ice cream and cokes. In the late 1940s it became City Drug, owned by Roy Chambers. The City Drug sign is still displayed outside.
