UNDER NEW OWNERSHIP - Wagon owners, please see our 2024 pricing.
Chuck Wagon Old Fashioned Soda© started as a second concession stand to our main unit in 2000. After our first event, we sold our first soda wagon. Now, many years later, we have numerous wagons in several states. Our business has grown and we now are now in events of many sizes nationwide.
We would like to thank all of our patrons for their past support. We are pleased to be offering a new tin cup this year. Since we had so many requests for our soda, we listened and now offer bottled soda. This is a big step for us. We have come a long way in the past two years. Our soda may be purchased at events as well as online.
My name is Carl Bales and I would like to start off by proudly introducing myself as the new owner of Chuckwagon soda. After 25 years of intensive work, Terry Schaeffer, the founder of this inventive company has decided to retire and pass the torch onto me. I am extremely ecstatic to reinvigorate Chuckwagon and watch as it prospers to new heights. I have learned over the years that great customer service is a major aspect when trying to make a company thrive. Therefore I look forward to helping everyone that is a part of the Chuckwagon family.
I started this entrepreneurship by building a wagon with the former owner so that my daughter and I would have something to do over the summer. I felt so invigorated after our first festival and immediately fell in love with the whole process.
I have known and worked with the Schaeffer family for over 25 years and was extremely honoured when Terry gave me an offer to buy chuckwagon. I can only hope that we can assist in ensuring that it grows and flourishes as he would want it to. We look forward to communicating with all involved in Chuckwagon soda in the future years.
A special thank you to everyone because you have made this possible for us. We have a few new products which we will be revealing in the coming years.
Most of you that purchased soda from our wagon over the years will remember Janet. This year on march 17th, we lost her to cancer. She was with us for about 14 years, her smile will be missed by all. At the age of 81 she said to me that she could not do it anymore. I smiled and said thank you very much.
