File this under stupid, useless information that you do not need to know. But you can amaze your friends and loved ones with how much crap you store in your brain.

If I asked you to name some Wyoming convenience stores, you can surely name a few. But what stores do you see most often?

Loaf 'N Jug operates the highest number of tracked convenience store locations in Wyoming, with around 37 stores statewide.

GOSH - now you know that. So let's go deeper.

Loaf 'N Jug: -37 locations, making it the largest tracked chain in the state.
Stinker Stores: -10 locations.
Good 2 Go Stores: -9 locations.
Common Cents Store: -7 locations.
Big D: -5 locations.

Maverik: Maintains a strong regional presence across multiple Wyoming communities alongside other independent operators.

You might have thought of a few names that are not on that list, but remember a few big names either closed or consolidated with other major stores. So those names are now missing.

Total those stores listed above with independent stores, and we see that  Wyoming has approximately 350 to 400 convenience stores at around 348 to 399 locations.

The Cowboy State also has TA Travel Centers, Sapp Brothers, Hi Market, Snyder Food & Gas, Love's, PDQ Food Stores, and Crystal One Stop.

There are probably plenty of other names not mentioned here. But the point of the story was to name the stores you see the most.

So there you have it. Take that information and store it. Wait for the perfect time to spring these numbers just so you can see someone look at you with wide eyes and ask why the hell you have that kind of useless information in your brain.

Old Medicine Of The Chugwater Wyoming Drugstore

If you visit the tiny town of Chugwater Wyoming you'll find the newly restored Soda Fountain.

In fact it's Wyoming's oldest soda fountain and malt shot.

It's always worth stopping in for breakfast or lunch, or maybe a shake or malt.

The place was a drug store and soda fountain for the longest time.

Back then soda was actually used to cure an upset stomach.

So what sort of old medicines were left behind by Chugwater's last pharmacist?

It turns out, some of them are on display.
