Nackard Pepsi

75 years after Fred and Monica Nackard first started selling Pepsi-Cola in this part of the state.  As Patrick reflects upon the evolution of the soft drink business, he expresses pride in his family’s heritage and business legacy.  “We could not have made it this far without our loyal customers, vendors, and hard-working employees,” he says.  He also attributes their success to one simple, old fashioned philosophy born 75 years ago – service.  “Our whole business is based upon service – we pride ourselves on taking care of our customers,” he says.  “Sure, the soft drink business has changed quite a bit since my father started the company but continuing to sell a worldwide brand like Pepsi has not. We’re proud to continue a long tradition of selling quality products, coupled with providing the best-possible customer service, and giving back to those communities where we do business.”  His vision for the future is the same as his fathers was: “I want to continue building and strengthening the company for the next generation – our children, Palmer and Monica, and their families.

Late For The Train

While pondering a list of potential names for our new cafe (with a deadline looming), my wife said to me, “you’d better hurry up and decide or you’ll be late for the train.”  

Much has happened since that day in 1992, but the name stuck. Today we’re still roasting dark, brewing strong, and enjoying every train that roars through town.  

We consciously created a cafe setting that allows community to happen, while offering the best coffee drinking experience possible. We don’t brand our “hello”, inquire about your personal doings, or ask if you want to “upsize” every time you place an order.

Our cafe experience is not just a product of our policies, procedures, and principles, but of what our staff and customers make it. Our staff are renowned for their good nature and unpretentious service, devoted to tilting your day, hopefully leaving you feeling better than when you arrived.
