The biggest attraction in Riverton, Kansas along old Route 66 is the Eisler Brothers Store. Built in 1925, it was originally called William's Store, selling groceries and general merchandise, providing a small restaurant, and featuring a Standard Station. By 1932, a “Y Not Eat Barbecue” had been added.

 

Though it changed over the years, the business never closed and in 1973, the Eisler family bought the location, opening a market and deli. Today, the well maintained building still provides groceries and old-fashioned deli sandwiches as well as a variety of Route 66 souvenirs for a new generation of 66 enthusiasts.

 

The locaction was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2003 and continues to service both travelers and locals alike.
