Really? weird, the ghost in the machine, (great album) now you have to tell me, because you know I gotta know! Who was the bottler/brand ? post if you would or PM me.
and vend_dr, yes! he's been in contact & I'll forward all the info/pictures I have, and I'll get him in contact with the buildings new owner. hopfully they can strike a deal, I went back & dug around & located some of the old plastic cases label "The Pop-Stop" this was a national franchise as I recall, after looking in the bottle-cappers' loaded bin (still stuffed with crowns) the last run was for a local brewer (Big Buck Beer) & there are still brown beer bottles in the washer, just sitting there, like they shut down for the evening & never returned, kinda creepy!

Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

Good I am glad he called you.
Yes glassbottlesrule please post the brand!
What's really sad is I have wanted to start a small soda bottling (with returnable bottles) business for quite some time but I just don't have the funds. Too bad as this would have been a great opportunity to lower the start up costs.

Are you sure it wasn't "Pop Shop" I remember that from my childhood in the 1970's. |

The "Pop Shop" recently reopened in canada, there is also a company in Saratoga Falls NY that still uses the pop shop bottles.

Here's the pictures I have. It was Brownie Root Beer and Atlas beverages. I didn't blur out the street signs so please don't smear these all over the web so this place gets destroyed even more.
