CHUGWATER – Loving old-fashioned everything is one of the reasons that Christian and Jill Winger decided to purchase Wyoming’s oldest operating soda fountain.
The young entrepreneurial couple purchased the iconic landmark April 20, 2021, and immediately rolled up their sleeves to bring it back to its former glory.
Growing up in Moscow, Idaho, Jill Winger was home-schooled, graduated in 2003 and the next step in her education brought her to Wyoming where she attended Laramie County Community College (LCCC) where she earned a degree in equine studies which she said kind of tongue-in-cheek totally qualified her to restore and run a soda fountain.
She is an entrepreneur and loves everything that has anything to do with vintage or antiques.
“She’s not the only one that’s like that,” said Christian who is a 1998 Cheyenne East graduate. “I’m probably worse from my standpoint. After high school I went into the electrical apprenticeship trade. I still have my Masters License. We have several businesses so we ranch and have a construction business, remodel houses and we remodeled this fountain.”
