Located on 125 N Main Street, St.Charles MO 63301 is an old-fashioned store called Little O’s Soda Shop. It is open Monday-Saturday from 11 a.m. – 9 p.m., and 11 a.m. – 6 p.m. on Sundays. Its bright blue walls give the place a welcoming feel. “More like what haven’t I tried?,” manager Ian Gilbert said. “I’ve tried the most soda combinations. If it sounds good I’ve probably tried it.” One of the items on the menu is a “50 chevy,” which is a blueberry and banana cream soda, Gilbert’s favorite. Soda isn’t the only thing this lovely shop has, though. There is also ice cream, cake, milkshakes and more. 

“I can’t think of anything bad about it here,” customer Tracy Wilson said. “The prices are not too bad.” Wilson has visited the store twice. On that particular day she happened to order a sundae, but said she doesn’t have a favorite. “It’s a little modern pop shop, very laid back. Everyone is nice here,” Gilbert said. He’s been working at the shop for half a year as an assistant. His job is to serve and take care of customers and deliveries, and he enjoys what he does. “It’s the best part-time job I can think of,” Gilbert said.
