Owners: Eric and Robyn Eastin
Opportunity
The opportunity to open a 3rd location on the North end of town in front of and in
the parking lot of Porter’s Office Supply located on 1050 N 2nd E, Rexburg, ID 83440
Rexburg. The owner is Mark Porter who has agreed to this exciting endeavor. Our
intentions are to bring more awareness to a family-owned and recognized business of
Porter’s Office Supply and turn heads toward the new Elite storage unit directly behind
Porter’s. We foresee a rush of customers that flow into the original SodaVine on 50 W
2nd Main being lifted and traffic issues lighted as we extend this ever-delightful
experience of tastes and flavors closer to the people of Rexburg on the Northside.
We intend to expand our popular and successful business to focus on the
businesses and a growing community on the Northside of town and the flow of traffic to
Walmart as well as the growing community of Sugar City.
SodaVine has an established brand identity and customer base which has
opened up this opportunity and demand. We currently employ 35 employees at our
Rexburg https://www.sodavineidaho.com/ and SodaVine at the Lube Bay in St. Anthony
located on 147 Bridge Street.

Location
The location of the building will be on the North end of the parking lot tucked in next to the grass
out 8 ft for drive-thru cars. Cones will be placed to direct cars to the order window and up to the
pickup window. Three to four parking stalls will be closed off to employees to allow ample room
for the drive-thru.
Power
Leroy Edwards has visited the site along with Mark Porter and Robyn Eastin and
discussed several economical options for power and has agreed upon bringing from the
existing building its own meter box for the SodaVine portable building. A rough sketch

Plumbing/Sewage/Water
Eric Eastin has met with Nephi at Rexburg Plumbing and arrangements have
been made to hook up water from the existing sprinkler system on the grass area which
will be next to the building and power pole. A gray water tank will be installed to deposit
wastewater with backflow prevention. Also, if the trailer is a suitable source for the
business this will all be built into the trailer.
Building
A wooden shed or medal trailer approximately 14’x 28’x7’ will be constructed with 2-3
drive-up windows, an access door for employees, and a barn door for supplies. A
walk-up window will be made available for employees from Porter’s Office as well as
overflow customers who might want to sit on the grass and enjoy the sunshine. The
color will be grey with black trim and a red roof to accent the Elite Storage business
already in place.

Opening Projection
June 6, 2021
With the SodaVine anniversary of both locations being June 6, 2014 we would like to continue
our tradition to open on then. This day has significant meaning because it is the owner Robyn
Eastin’s birthday so I feel it’s a great way to celebrate a day that is So Divine!
