Zesto, 3239 Forest Drive: 30 December 2024 2 comments
If this Zesto weren't there for my entire life, it was pretty close. Richland Mall came, went, came and went again while Zesto chocolate dipped one soft-serve cone after another. In fact I have to admit that unless my folks got me something else when I was very young, those chocolate dip cones are all I had at Zesto, with the dark shell cracking over the creamy goodnes the first time you bit it and lasting down to the part where you ate the cone and got ice cream all over your fingers.
The owner is retiring after a good long run, and it's certainly well deserved. I can't really see the building being repurposed as there is not enough parking for a full sit-down restaurant, and not enough space for a drive through, but time will tell. In the meantime, there's those decades of sticky memories.
Here's ColaDaily on the closing, and here's WIS on the final day.

My experience was pretty much the same. I enjoy the Triangle City locattion since I live over that way now. I can say they have a pretty good burger. The fried Chicken is supposed to be good, but like you, I don't care for fried chicken.

The Zesto in Chapin closed earlier this year, now this one.
Are North Main and Triangle City the last remaining in Cola?
