Our Mission Whether you find The Drink Station at a fair, a ball game, a festival, or parked in town for the day, the goal is aways the same: Serve great drinks and treat everyone like a neighbor.
About Us
The Drink Station isn’t just a drink truck — it’s a story that started nearly 20 years ago with a simple old-fashioned lemonade tent and a love for serving people.
Seventeen years ago, the journey began with hand-squeezed lemonade and a small setup. After a couple of years, the tent turned into a trailer, and before long, the business grew into running concessions at the Macomb ball fields with a corn dog and lemonade trailer called Squeeze To Please. Working in food and drinks had always been a part of life, and serving the community quickly became the best part of the job.
When COVID hit and the park district shut down, the business shifted to to-go food to keep serving the community. But after years in the food business, it became clear that the real passion had always been the drinks — especially the lemonade. So The Drink Station was born, getting back to the original roots: fresh, hand-squeezed lemonade and great drinks served with a smile.
At the heart of The Drink Station is a small-town mindset. Growing up in a small town and going through school with the same 27 people teaches you something important — you treat people right, you work hard, and you support your community. That spirit is poured into every single drink served.
The Drink Station is proud to support local organizations like 4-H and FFA in McDonough County, and to support local music, including my grandson’s rock band, 7Ark. Community has always been a big part of this journey, and it always will be.
Today, The Drink Station is a mobile drink truck specializing in fresh hand-squeezed lemonade, along with boosted teas, lotus energy drinks, smoothies, and dirty Alani drinks. Every lemonade is made with real lemons and quality ingredients — because when you start with good ingredients and treat people like friends, good things tend to follow.
