Food is Medicine:
Introducing the South Side Drug Co.
Kitchen and Gardens
The South Side Soda Fountain
After being closed for 50 years, South Side reopened its soda fountain in the spring of 2020 and added a healthier twist. From smoothies and wholesome shakes to nourishing and colorful breakfast and lunch plates, we hope to inspire change in ourselves and others to begin feeling better and live healthier lives.
The South Side Gardens
Robertson County and its surrounding areas have a rich agricultural history. From small gardens behind our houses to larger commercial operations, many of us living here have some type of connection to growing food.
Understanding that food is medicine, we thought it would be fun to grow kale and lettuces in planters and a small raised bed on the side of the pharmacy in 2016. Since then we have expanded to a small garden one mile north of the pharmacy to grow fresh produce for the soda fountain and customers and to make our own fermented foods like sauerkraut and kimchi.
100 Years of Service
South Side Drug Co: Family owned, community centered for the last one hundred years.
Our local roots run deep.
South Side Drug Co. first opened its doors in 1919, just five blocks south of Springfield’s downtown square and county courthouse. At the time, people thought it was too risky to open a pharmacy so far out of town. As it turns out, the building’s location turned out to be just fine as it was next to the railroad and directly across the street from the city’s train depot, where passengers would come and go. One hundred years later, South Side is in its original building and thankful to be part of, work alongside, and serve the great community of Springfield and Robertson County.
