Welcome!

Spring is finally starting to show up here in East Idaho and I am not mad about it. Warmer days, longer evenings, and more going on around town it is that time of year again. I even turned my sprinklers on this week which feels like the official sign we made it through winter. Here is what is happening around the area 👇

🥤 Business Highlight: Drink Factory

If you’re looking for a new go-to spot to satisfy your soda cravings, Drink Factory is bringing bold flavors and fun combinations to Idaho Falls. Specializing in customizable dirty sodas, energy drinks, and refreshing specialty beverages, it’s the perfect stop whether you need a mid-day pick-me-up or a sweet treat.

From classic mixes to creative signature drinks, Drink Factory lets you build your perfect combo with flavors, creams, and add-ins. They’ve also got options for everyone—whether you’re in the mood for something light and refreshing or rich and indulgent.

With spring finally here, it’s the perfect time to swing by, try something new, and find your new favorite drink.
