Fountain Drinks

Venture Petroleum sells only Certified Quality fountain drinks. Every store offers a wide variety of fountain products that meet or exceed the standards set by beverage companies.

The Fountain Mixers
A Customize your fountain drink with the drink you like and are available at Venture Petroleum. These flavors are available right from the fountain head at all Venture Petroleum stores. You can choose just how much you want, and even mix with other products. Invent your own special fountain drink with your secret ingredients.

The Water
Every ounce of water that goes into the fountain drink mixture is filtered to remove any impurities. The city water in each of the municipalities in which Venture Petroleum operates is thoroughly analyzed, and the proper type of filter is installed to ensure water purity. Filters are then changed on a regularly scheduled basis.

The Syrup
Syrup is purchased directly from the various beverage companies. Syrup comes in a "bag in a box”, The bags of syrup are kept in a box, because it's pretty hard to stack bags of syrup. Every flavor has a back-up bag, so if the product runs out in the first bag, the second bag automatically kicks in. The bags are checked and empty bags replaced during each shift change. That ensures you'll always get the product you want. And, the bags are rotated to ensure there is always fresh product.

The Carbonation
Most fountain drinks would be pretty boring without the tiny bubbles of carbonation. We don't want to leave you flat, so the carbonation is set at the recommended level, and backup tanks with an automatic switch hover valve are always in place so we never run out.

The Ice
The ice is, well, really cold. But more importantly, it is filtered just like the water that goes into the product. And, at most of our stores, you can choose either cubed or crushed ice.
