Ribbon cutting to be held Monday to celebrate re-opening of L&R Soda Fountain in Elkton

There will be a ribbon cutting on Monday to celebrate the grand re-opening of the L&R Soda Fountain on the square in Elkton.

The ribbon cutting will take place at 10:15 a.m. on Monday at the restaurant’s location at 43 Public Square in Elkton and the grand re-opening comes after a lengthy closure that originally began to allow for renovations and then was extended because of the COVID-19 pandemic restrictions.

The L&R Soda Fountain was originally opened in Elkton in June of 2011 by Kenny and Heather Clayton in conjunction with the pharmacy business that they owned and operated at the time. The reopening is made possible through a partnership with the Claytons and the Todd County Foundation, Inc.

All profits generated by the L&R Soda Fountain will be retained by the Foundation for reinvestment into the Todd County community through projects to improve and support the quality of life.

The business will be led by general manager Felix Diaz.
