But this Kan-O-Tex service station is now restored. They sell sandwiches, snacks, antiques, Route 66 and Car’s items, including several made by local craftspeople and artists. Outside the building there will be several vehicles, including the mining boom truck that inspired the character “Tow Mater” in Radiator Springs from the movie Cars. For trademark reasons, Four Women are calling their boom truck “Tow Tater.” Tow Tater still runs and can be hired to appear at special events.

The Eisler Brothers Old Riverton Store in Riverton, Kansas has been operating along Historic Route 66 since before the Route officially opened. It was built by Leo Williams in 1925 and he operated the market as Williams Store until 1973 when Joe and Isabell Eisler purchased the business.

Today Eisler Bros. sells groceries, produce, flowers, Deli meats & cheeses, gifts, Route 66 memorabilia and local handicrafts. It is a popular stop for travelers cruising Route 66. Stop and purchase a sandwich and get a cold pop out of an original Coca Cola cooler.

One of the original out houses is still sitting behind the Eisler Bros. Store.
