First visit 1/30/15 to buy a ceramic dispenser and metallic stand.
I've never been in a store like this before but after looking at drink dispensers at walmart I decided to try this store.
It wasn't cheap. To get started using a place liks this with a four gallon jug, a basic metallic stand and a plain ceramic dispenser was about $90. The dispenser is ceramic sort of like a crock pot. You fill the bottle and turn it upside down in the large hole. That's it really. They sell about everything you need.
The business was dusty but they had a decent selection of water stuff and candies, smoothies, and edibles based on sugar.
I would say the stand I purchased would NOT be good for a place with earthquakes, it's vertically unstable. Perhaps also not ideal with lots of active little kids around too.
If I had this purchase over I think I would have selected three gallon bottles instead because at about seven pounds per gallon a four gallon bottle full might be less than fun to handle again and again.
I had to wash the ceramic dispenser but the bottle comes use-ready, sealed with a screw off cap.
