My SKI Soda Finders Guide

Last Updated: 03/08/2012

This is a list of places that I have found Ski (and other Double Cola products), or where I have

been told it is available by others. Unless otherwise noted, assume original flavor Ski. I live in

Kentucky, so most of my own “sightings” have been in this state & in Southern Ohio.

In some areas, Ski is plentiful everywhere. In others, I have found Ski much more likely to be

found in smaller grocery stores (like IGA or convenience stores) and less-likely in large chains.

In a few others, it seems to be found mostly in the large chains, like Kroger and Wal-Mart, and

not in smaller stores.

There are various websites set up by fans that are devoted to Ski. One such site is Ski for Your

Pleasure which contains a lot of interesting information, including product news & history, as

well as audio & video clips, including a very early Ski TV advertisement. Also included are

photos which show the “evolution” of Ski packaging & advertising. There are also a couple of

Facebook Pages/Groups dedicated to Ski: Ski Citrus Soda (official) and SKI, a Southern Double

Cola Beverage! (unofficial fan group page). There is also now an official Double Cola Facebook

page: Drink Double Cola.

In this list, I sometimes reference a soft drink discussion board as Bevnet Bevboard =

http://www.bevnet.com/bevboard .

NOTE - Cherry Ski has become Ski Infrared as part of the Ski package graphics change. You

may see both names used interchangeably on this page. Caffeine Free Ski is also being phased-

out in favor of Diet Caffeine Free Ski. If you see “Caffeine Free” on this page, it means the old

non-diet formula. Once the phase-out is complete, I do not plan to differentiate between Diet and

C/F Diet.

NEWS 11/11/2010: Per this article, Double Cola will now again be distributing their lemon-lime

drink, Chaser, in the United States. UPDATE 01/2011: The first Chaser sighting has been

reported to this site. It was found in the Old Dutch IGA stores in Danville, Virginia.

If you have any additions or corrections for this listing, I would love to hear them!

cane sugar!). The company web site at http://www.excelbottling.com includes a list of places in

this area that Excel distributes Ski to, including places where it can be found on tap. It looks like

Ski is available in original, Diet, C/F, and Cherry. Double Cola may also be available, and

Jumbo is available in some locations in this area. Their website, as well as

http://www.glassbottlesoda.org , imply that Cash-and-Carry customers are also welcome at the

with a list of places that they distribute Double Cola products, including Diet Double Cola.

Tom's entire list is here.

and Double Cola will be available at this store starting in February, 2011.

Crawfordsville – Second-Hand, per a post on Facebook (10/2010) – Ski is now available in

Crawfordsville.

Evansville Area (2/2008) – This is the home of Tri-State Canning, an RC bottler where Ski and

Double Cola are canned/bottled. Check out http://www.courierpress.com/news/2008/feb/29/pop-

art for a 2008 Evansville Courier & Press article about Ski & Ski availability in the Evansville

area. Double Cola should also be available locally.

Buehler's Buy Low – 4851 Pennysylvania Avenue – 12/20/2L – Diet, C/F, & Cherry also

– From the article. Check other Buehler's locations for availability.

Drone's Convenience Store – 410 N Tekoppel Avenue – From the article.

Eddie Geis' Barber and Beauty Shop – 414 S Barker Avenue – From the article.

are/were sold here.

Landmark BBQ (12/2008) – 3901 Broadway – SD/SC, Diet also - Second-Hand, per this

blog entry, Ski is served here. From the included photos, it looks like they serve RC

instead of Double Cola, though.

Wesselman's (9/2010) - Second-Hand. Ski is available here.

Schnuck's (11/2010) - Second-Hand. Ski is available here.

Elsewhere - The article implies that Ski is especially popular on the West Side. Rumor

has it that Ski and Double Cola can be found in Ski & RC vending machines throughout

that area, and on tap at various convenience stores, especially on the West End. Also, you

can always find Double Cola products on tap during games at Double Cola Fields, the

soccer complex for the Evansville/Vanderburgh County schools.

Indianapolis – See the link under Bedford / Bloomington / French Lick. See also

Crawfordsville.

Jasper – I have been told that Ski can be found here, in at least cans. Double Cola & Ski are

distributed by local company Hedinger Beverage, the same company that now owns &

distributes Dad's Root Beer products. I would check Buehler's & other places where Dad's can be

found. Update (2/2010): From the list of non-alcoholic beverages on their web site,

www.hedingerbeverage.com, they do indeed distribute Double Cola and Ski. Thanks to a reader

for the tip regarding their homepage!

KENTUCKY

IMHO, the best places to look for Ski in Kentucky are small-chain or locally-owned grocery

stores (like Houchen's, IGA, etc.) & convenience stores. Seems to be most-likely available in the

Lake Cumberland area, in cities along the Western Kentucky & Blue Grass Parkways, in cities

along I-65 (excluding Louisville), in cities in the Ale-8-One “core” distribution area, and in cities

near Greensburg. Double Cola is harder to find. It is apparently still available in the Madisonville

area, in Central City, in Greensburg, and possibly in places near Evansville, Indiana.

Ale-8-One “Core Area” - See Lexington. Ale-8-One is now a Ski distributor. Winchester is

where Ale-8-One is bottled, and the “core area” “radiates” out from Clark County. Look for Ski

in any area where Ale-8-One is available in quantity.

First Stop Stores – First Stop is a chain of convenience stores/gas stations which are mostly

found in Northeastern Kentucky and Southern Ohio. 20oz plastic bottles of Ski seem to be a

staple at First Stop stores. Some locations are listed below. For a full list of locations, check out

the “Locations” link on their homepage. Note that two of the Maysville, Kentucky, area locations

appear to be missing from their list.

Western Ky Coca Cola Distribution Area (7/2011) - I am not exactly sure of the boundaries of

their distribution area, but a reader has reported that Excel Bottling (via their Facebook page) has

announced that their glass-bottled, sugar-sweetened Ski will be distributed by Western Ky Coca

Cola.

Albany – If you can't find Ski here, you are not looking hard enough! Albany is along US 127,

South of Lake Cumberland and North of Dale Hollow Lake. When I was a kid, I am pretty sure

this was the first place I ever tried Double Cola and Ski. I have not seen Double Cola here in a

long time, though.

Houchen's/Hometown IGA (10/2008) – Westview Shopping Center, Burkesville Rd (KY

1590) – 12/24/2L – Diet & C/F also – easy to find in the Soft Drink aisle. Ski has about

as much shelf space as any of the “top tier” cola brands here.

Cumberland Corner Deli Market (10/2010) – corner of KY 734 & KY 90/US 127 –

12/20/2L/DB/SC – Diet 20 – 12-packs & 2-litres on shelf over near deli. Cold 10 & 20 oz

bottles, and cans, in the coolers.

Ely's on the Square (10/2010) – 203 S Cross (US 127 S) – 20/SC – Diet 20 – in the cooler

across from the check-out counter.

Craft Car Wash (10/2010) – 901 ½ N Cross (US 127) – There are two Ski machines

outside of this business.

Elsewhere – The places above are the places I am certain I have seen and/or puchased

Ski, but I seem to see it in just about any store I've stepped into. I know it is in at least

one convenience store/filling station on the South side of town, and there is at least one

working Ski vending machine inside a business near (but not on) the square.

Bardstown

Kroger (2/2009) – Second-Hand. Ski is available here, and may be available in other

places in town as well.

Bowling Green – Second-Hand, multiple accounts (5/2010) – Ski in all varieties (including

Infrared) is available here, but Double Cola apparently is not. Check Houchen's or Kroger, but

Ski should be just about anywhere.

Campbellsville – Second-Hand, multiple accounts (5/2010) – Ski should be easily available in

multiple packaging, regular, diet, and C/F. Double Cola is not available here, but can be found in

nearby Greensburg. See also Greensburg.

Fasttrack (7/2011) – Hwy 55 – GB – Second-Hand (Thanks!!!!) - This store sells the

sugar-sweetened, glass-bottled Ski from Excel. May also sell Ski in other packaging.

Caneyville / Short Creek / Falls of Rough – Ski is available in Caneyville, but as you travel up

KY 79 towards Rough River Lake, it disappears. See also Leitchfield.

Caneyville BP (6/2009) – KY 79 at Taylor Dr, just N of Western KY Pkwy Jct – 12/20 –

12-can-packs on soft drink aisle, 20oz bottles in coolers in back.

drink aisle.

Second-Hand. May be available in other places nearby as well.

Central City / Greenville – Ski & Double Cola are distributed out of nearby Madisonville, & at

least Ski is probably available in other stores in this area. Where I have found it:

Neighbor's Shell (6/2009) – US 431 at Western KY Pkwy, Central City – 12/20/SC – 12-

can-packs on soda aisle, 20oz bottles & single cans in coolers along the back of the store.

Stewart's Foodliner (6/2009) – 219 S Second, Central City – 6P/12 – Double Cola 12 –

This store also carries Double Cola. Both were shelved with the Dr. Pepper products.

Double Cola shelf space was limited, so if you don't find it, ask for it. Stewart's also has a

location in Greenville. I didn't get a chance to check there, but they may also carry

Double Cola & Ski. Thanks to a fellow Double Cola fan for the tip!

Columbia / Edmonton – Second-Hand, multiple accounts (7/2010) – In Columbia, Ski should

be easily available in multiple packaging, regular, diet, and C/F. Ski should also be available in

Edmonton. See also Greensburg and Jamestown/Russell Springs.

Danville – See Lexington for potential availability information. See also Junction City /

Moreland / Houstonville. I've looked places (chain stores, not c-stores) here in the past and not

found Ski, but the Ale-8 distribution deal may have changed things.

Man-O-War Express Mart (6/2010) – 101 Man-O-War Dr – 12 – Second-Hand, thanks

for the tip! Ski is available here.

Elizabethtown – There is a local Ski distributor here, so it shouldn't be difficult to find. Stores

See Shelbyville.

Terry's 5 and 10 (6/2011) - 480-B Lexington Rd., Versailles – 12/20/SC/GB – Diet 12 –

Ski is again plentiful here. They even have signs on the door announcing its return. 12-

packs of cans and 6-packs of glass bottles can be found near the front of the store with the

Ale-8-One products. Cold single cans, glass bottles, and 20oz bottles are in the cooler

across the aisle. Ski is also available in an Ale-8 vending machine outside. The clerk was

even drinking a Ski during a recent visit.

One products, sometimes on the soft-drink aisle and sometimes on the beer-and-cheese

Wal-Mart (3/2012) - Leonardwood at US 127, Frankfort – GB/12 – Diet 12 – In addition

Second-Hand, from a poster on Facebook that included a picture of the products.

Greensburg / Munfordville – Regular and Diet Ski should be easily available in multiple

packaging. Greensburg was the former home of Greensburg Bottling, a large producer of Ski &

Double Cola. The Kentucky Headhunters are from this area. One of their hits was the song

Dumas Walker: “...a slawburger, fries, and a bottle of Ski...” In Greensburg, look at Houchen's &

the Headhunter Grill (if it is still open).

Five Star Food Mart (6/2009) –111 S Main, Greensburg - Second-Hand – Double Cola

12 – Ski also - A fellow Double Cola fan sent me this tip. Double Cola is available here

& apparently sells pretty well. Ski is also available here.

sugar-sweetened, glass-bottled Ski from Excel. May also sell Ski in other packaging.

other stores. See also Madisonville and “Indiana: Evansville Area.”

Hodgenville

Houchen's (6/2008) - 492 S Main St (pretty sure this is an IGA) – 12/2L – Diet also - look

for Ski on soft drink aisle.

Hopkinsville.

Jamestown / Russell Springs

Houchen's Market (03/2010) – 2453 Lakeway Dr (JCT of US 127 & KY 379), Russell

Springs – 12/20/2L/6P/SC – Diet 12/20/2L/SC – C/F 12 – Ski is plentiful on the soft-

Don's Food Mart (5/2009) – US 127 at Michelle Ln, approx. 4 miles S of Junction City –

12/20/SC – 20 oz bottles & cans of regular Ski are in the coolers on the back wall. Plenty

of 12-can-packs were on an end-cap near the 2 litre displays, although I didn't see any 2

litres of Ski.

Leitchfield – I believe the Houchen's stores are both IGA stores, but can't remember for sure.

Other stores may also carry Ski & are worth a look. See also Caneyville.

Houchen's (6/2008) - 115 Sequoia Dr – 12 – may also carry 2L – shelf space was limited,

but look for Ski on soft drink aisle.

Houchen's (6/2008) - 492 S Main St (KY 259) – 12 – may also carry 2L – shelf space

was limited, but look for Ski on soft drink aisle.

bottles in coolers along side wall.

store, but I did find it in a Coke machine at the entrance.

Lexington / Georgetown / Nicholasville / Winchester – See also Millersburg, Frankfort, and

Richmond. From the folks at Double-Cola (6/2010), Ski is now being distributed by Ale-8-One

in their “core area.” Ale-8 is bottled in Winchester, and their core area includes Lexington,

Frankfort, Danville, Richmond, Paris, West Liberty, and points in-between. That is a good chunk

of Central and Central-Eastern Kentucky. For a complete list of the counties within the “core

area,” see the link on this page of the Ale-8-One website. Second-Hand information elsewhere

on the 'Net suggests that Ski is now available in Georgetown and other places in Lexington

proper (7/2010). It should be pretty easy to find here now. Places I've seen it, or others have

reported seeing it, include:

Kroger (1/2012) – Boston Rd. at Man O'War, Lexington – 12/6P/GB – Diet 12 - Ski can

be found, in good quantity, with the Ale-8-One products on the soft-drink aisle.

Kroger (2/2012) – Brannon Crossing, Nicholasville – 12/6P/GB – Diet 12 - Ski can be

found, in good quantity, with the Ale-8-One products on the soft-drink aisle.

Kroger (2/2011) – Richmond Rd., Lexington – Ski is available here.

Kroger (10/2011) – Beaumont, Lexington – Ski and Diet Ski are available here.

Kroger (7/2010) – Nicholasville – 12/20/GB - Diet 12 – Second-Hand. Ski can be found

with the Ale-8-One in the local Kroger store. Thanks for the tip!

Kroger (7/2010) – 135 Bellerive (at US 68 – Harrodsburg Rd), Nicholasville-Lexington –

GB – 6-packs of glass bottles can be found with the Ale-8-One products. This store is

practically on the county line.

Wal-Mart (9/2010) – Winchester & Georgetown locations – Second-hand.

Not found at: Wal-Mart – Palomar, Lexington (2/2012).

Liberty (Casey County) / Dunnville – Ski seems plentiful here, and is probably available in

plenty of additional places I've not listed.

A & D Supermarket (3/2010) – 163 Houstonville St, at the corner of Rule St. -

12/24/20/6P/2L/SC/DB – Diet 12 – This store didn't have a sign on it, so I almost missed

it. It is the only store on that corner & the locals apparently have no trouble finding it.

There were soda displays & coolers at the front of the store, and a soda aisle in the back,

so if you can't find a variety of Ski in one place, check the other. 20 oz & “deli” bottles in

the coolers, single cans in the Coke machine out front. They even have one “Double

Cola” cooler still in the store, but unfortunately no Double Cola in it.

Marathon Food Center (5/2009) – US 127 at Short Town Road, approx. 4 mi N of town –

12/20/2L/SC – Diet 20 – 20 oz bottles & cans in coolers, 12's & 2-litres in soda section.

Jack's Express (5/2009) – 6283 S US 127, approx. 6 mi S of town – 12/20/DB/2L – 12-

packs & 2-litres in soda section, smaller bottles in cooler.

Hometown Proud IGA (3/2010) – Liberty Sq. Shopping Ctr, Wilkinson Blvd (US 127) –

12/24/6P/2L/SC – Diet 2L/SC – C/F SC – 12 & 24 packs on various end-caps, & on soda

aisle along with 6-pack bottles & 2-litres. Single Cans in Ski machine outside.

Save-A-Lot (5/2009) – 675 N Wilkinson Blvd (US 127) – 12/24/20/6P/SC – Diet SC –

On a couple of end-caps & displays near the soda aisle. Single 20 oz bottles in a cooler at

the check-out. Single Cans in a Coke machine outside.

Dogwalk Market (5/2009) – US 127 at Dog Walk Street, Dunnville – 12/20/DB/SC –

Diet 12/20 – Ski is an easy find in soda section & two different cooler sections. Single

cans in store & in Coke machine outside.

London / Corbin – per a wall post on the Facebook page SKI, a Southern Double Cola

Beverage! (9/2010) – 12 – Diet & Cherry Also - Ski is now available in the London area.

Rumors (5/2010) also make it available in nearby Corbin.

Louisville / Jefferson County – I have never seen Ski in Jefferson County. The closest places I

know of to find Ski are Elizabethtown & Mt. Washington. Rumor (5/2010) puts Ski in Wal-Mart

stores on the Indiana side of the River. If I was going to look in Louisville at all, I would look

out Bardstown Road (US 31E/150), or Dixie Highway (US 31W/60), South of the Snyder

Freeway. Internet rumor also puts Ski in the Kroger store in Holiday Manor, off US 42 & KY 22

(I really, really need to verify that one!). There are rumblings (5/2010) that Double Cola is

looking for a Ski distributor for Louisville. See Elizabethtown and Mt. Washington, and also

Simpsonville. See also “Indiana: Kentuckiana.”

Cost Plus World Market (5/2009) – 4600 Shelbyville Rd, St. Matthews – Double Cola

GB - See “On The Web: Cost Plus World Market”. I was able to verify that the store in

St. Matthews does carry the “Nostalgia” pack containing Double Cola. They also carried

some other “Nostalgia” and hard-to-find sodas in single bottles in a cooler by the check-

out, but I saw no Double Cola or Ski there. NOTE: Second-Hand information (9/2009)

indicates that this variety pack may no longer be available in stores.

Madisonville – Second-Hand (6/2009) – Madisonville Dr. Pepper distributes both Ski & Double

Cola, so both should be available at some stores in this area.

Maysville / Brooksville

Washington First Stop (7/2009) – KY 1236 at US 68/62, Maysville – 20 – Ski can be

found in the coolers along the right side of the store, along with the Dad's and Red Rock

products.

Elsewhere – I have checked other stores in Maysville (IGA: 7/2009; Kroger & a

Speedway: 8/2010) and did not see any Ski. Ale-8 is distributed by a third-party in this

area as it is outside of the “Core Area.” I have not checked either of the other two First

Stop locations in Maysville, or the one in nearby Brooksville, but they should carry Ski.

Middlesboro / Hyden - per a wall post on the Facebook page SKI, a Southern Double Cola

Beverage! (8/2010) – Ski and Ski InfraRed are now available in these cities. Per this article

(11/2010), there is a local distributor.

Millersburg / Paris / Carlisle / Cynthiana – I have not had a chance to check Paris recently,

but it is in the Ale-8-One core area, so I expect Ski can now be found there.

Millersburg First Stop (9/2011) - 1135 Main St (US 68 at KY 1879), Millersburg – 20 –

in coolers along back of store with Dad's Root Beer & Red Rock products.

Crockett's IGA (8/2010) – 210 Market St, Carlisle – 12/GB/20 – 12-can-packs and 6-

packs of glass bottles can be found with the Ale-8-Products. Cold glass & 20-oz plastic

bottles can be found in a cooler near the check-out.

Cynthiana First Stop – 215 W Pleasant, Cynthiana – Speculation. Ski is available in First

Stop stores in this area, and is likely to be found here.

Mt. Washington / Shepherdsville – I have looked multiple places in Shepherdsville (6/2009)

and did not find any Ski. In Mt. Washington, I found it at some places I looked.

Houchen's (6/2009) – 10070 KY 44 E – 12 – Diet 12 – Plenty of Ski on the soda aisle.

Valumarket (6/2009) – US 31E/150 at KY 44 – not found here.

Melton's Pic-Pac IGA (6/2009) – Highland Court, Shepherdsville – This place was

preparing for a Grand (Re-) Opening & was not yet open. The person who came to the

door when I tried to open it at least knew what I meant when I said I was “looking for

Ski” and not a job, so it might be worth a look once it is open.

Owensboro / Calhoun – Second-Hand – Ski is available in Owensboro. I'd look at Wyndall's

Foodland, IGA, or Larry's Little Giant & other smaller retailers. If Albany wasn't the first place I

ever tried Ski, then it was in Owensboro. It was at Larry's where I first saw & learned what the

“floaties” were! Double Cola used to be available, but might not be now. In Calhoun &

Livermore, Ski may be available at the local IGA & other stores. See also Central City.

Paducah / Murray - Second-Hand rumor (6/2010) is that Ski is available in some places in the

Paducah area, but no mention of where it was found. Second-Hand information (2/2011) also

places Ski in some convenience stores in Murray. See also Grand Rivers.

Shell (9/2011) – I-24, Exit 3, Paducah – SC/20 – Second-Hand, from a reader. Ski is

available here, and may also be available in 6-packs.

Pocket's Shell (11/2011) – 1000 Chestnut, Murray – 12 – Diet 12 - Second-Hand, from a

reader. Ski is available here. They have also had glass bottles, 20 oz. Plastic bottles, and

Cherry Ski available in the past.

Richmond / Berea – Ski should be available here.

Kroger (9/2010) – Richmond & Berea locations – Second-hand.

Scottsville / Tompkinsville – Second-Hand (6/2009) – Ski is available in this area. If Double

Cola is not found here, it is available just across the State Line in Lafayette, TN. A few places to

look:

Pitcock's Food Mart (6/2009) – 125 E Main, Gamaliel – GB/20/SC – Second-Hand. Ski

(and possibly Double Cola) are available at this location.

Wal-Mart (6/2009) – 1650 Edmonton Rd, Tompkinsville – 20/12 – Second-Hand.

JR's locations in this area.

(Summer, 2009), and have not found Ski. However, as of 8/2009 there is a Ski machine in

Simpsonville (at a Car Wash at the corner of US 60 at 2nd

Street) that sells regular Ski. See Mt.

Washington and Springfield. See also Frankfort.

Cracker Barrel (2/2012) – KY 53 at I-64, Shelbyville – Double Cola GB – This location

does carry the 4-packs of glass-bottled, sugar-sweetened Double Cola.

EZ Stop (6/2009) – KY 555 at Blue Grass Pkwy – 12/20/2L – There was plenty of Ski

here. 20oz bottles in the coolers along the back of the store.

Versailles – See Frankfort for listings.

Winchester – See Lexington. See also Millersburg.

MINNESOTA

Minneapolis / St. Paul / Falcon Heights

The Source Comics & Games (5/2009) – 1601 West Larpenteur Ave - Second-Hand, per

their website – I found this one by accident during a web search for Double Cola. Their

May, 2009 newsletters indicate that they now sell Double Cola & Ski, and touts them as

the "best soda on Earth." A post on Bevnet Bevboard (6/2009) also indicates that both are

available “in bottles,” and are selling well.

Moorhead / Sabin (Fargo, ND, area)

Old 52 General Store (2/2010) - 23 Main Street, Sabin – GB – Diet GB – Double Cola

GB – Directly from the folks at the store . Ski, Double Cola, and Diet Ski are available

here in 12oz glass bottles, and can also be ordered from their website, www.Old52.com.

A browse of their site shows that they also carry Cheerwine, Red Rock, Kickapoo Joy

Juice, and Green River (yum!), as well as nostalgic candies and toys. For those who call

on the store in person, they also advertise a soda fountain with many flavors.

MISSOURI

St. Charles – see also St. Louis.

Moto-Mart (6/2009) – 2801 N Highway 94 – 20 – Second-Hand. Ski, Diet Ski, and

Cherry Ski are available at this location. Update (7/2010) from a reader: Ski is

apparently no longer available at Moto-Marts in the St. Louis area.

St. Louis – Second-Hand, multiple sources (7/2009). Ski is supposed to be a fairly-easy find

here, including in Ski vending machines. See also “Illinois: Breese / East St. Louis.” Per a direct

communication from Excel Bottling, Excel now also has a distribution route on the Missouri side

of the Mississippi River. Here are a couple of places Ski should be available:

Bucky's Express (7/2010) - Lindbergh Blvd, Overland area – SD - From a reader: Ski is

available from the fountain at Bucky's.

Dierberg's Markets (7/2010) – multiple locations - From a reader: Ski is not carried

regularly at the St. Louis stores, but they will transfer some from their Illinois store upon

customer request.

Moto-Mart Convenience Stores (6/2009) – multiple locations – Second-Hand. Ski can be

found at various Moto-Mart locations. Product stocking/rotation is not always prompt at

some locations, so if you don't find it during one visit, that doesn't mean they've stopped

carrying it. Update (7/2011) - Excel now distributes Ski in cans to Moto-Marts in St.

Louis and St. Charles county.

Schnucks Culinary (7/2011) – Downtown St. Louis -- GB - Direct from Excel. Excel's

sugar-sweetened, glass-bottled Ski is available here.

specialty shop that has all kinds of sodas. You can get SKI in glass bottles made with

cane sugar from Excel, and they also will mix up Ski like soda jerks used to do.”

bottled Ski is available here.

Straub’s Market (7/2011) – Clayton, Webster Grove, Central West End, Town and

OHIO

Buckeye Distributing – (7/2011) Per a post on the official Ski facebook page, Ski & Diet Ski

now being distributed by Buckeye Distributing to many parts of Ohio. The “Location” tab on

their web page, at http://buckeyedist.com/ , shows their distribution area. Second-hand

information indicates that Buckeye distributes mostly to convenience stores and IGA stores. Ski

has been found in 20oz plastic bottles at some locations in that area (Cincinnati), listed below.

Thanks to a reader for pointing this out!

First Stop Stores – First Stop is a chain of convenience stores/gas stations which are mostly

found in the Northeastern Kentucky and Southern Ohio area. 20oz plastic bottles of Ski seem to

be a staple at First Stop stores. Some locations are listed below. For a full list of locations, check

out the “Locations” link on their homepage.

Adams and Brown Counties – I have checked multiple locations in Adams County (7/2009 &

8/2010), including Wal-Mart & two IGA stores, and have not seen Ski. However, there are many

First Stop stores in both counties, and I've only been in one of them. See also “Kentucky:

Maysville”.

Manchester First Stop (8/2010) – 601 W 2nd

Street (US 52), Manchester – 20 – Ski can be

found in the coolers along with the Red Rock products.

Cox's IGA (8/2010) - 403 Jack Roush Way (Ohio 136), Manchester – I did not find Ski

here, but I did find cold, glass-bottled, real-sugar-sweetened West Jefferson products,

including Sun Drop and 7-Up, in a cooler by the check-out counters.

location “carries Ski in 2L, 12p cans and 6pk Deli Glass.“

Southeast Beverage Company (1/2012) – From the distributor, via a reader – Thanks!:

This distributor currently supplies “a limited area in Southeast Ohio with 20oz bottles of

Ski, Diet Ski and Infra Red Ski pop.”.

Chillicothe / Waverly – Second-Hand, multiple sources. Ski, and possibly Cherry Ski & Double

Cola, should be available in some stores in both towns, and there are Ski vending machines in

the Waverly area. Gem Beverages of Wellston (see Jackson / Wellston) distributes Ski to this

area. From personal experience, Ski is not available at the two convenience store/gas stations in

the Waverly area along Ohio 32, East of the US 23 interchange (7/2009). I have never been into

Waverly proper, though. Some Second-Hand information (9/2009) indicates that Ski is not as

widely available in this area as it is in the Jackson / Wellston area. There is a First Stop in nearby

Piketon that would be a good place to look.

Cincinnati Area –

Jungle Jim's International Market (2/2012) - 5440 Dixie Highway, Fairfield – Thanks,

Jackson / Wellston / Hamden – Ski & other Double Cola products are distributed locally by

Gem Beverages of Wellston & are a possible find anywhere they distribute soft drinks. My

observations, along with Second-Hand observations, indicate that Ski is plentiful in this

area. Second-Hand information indicates that these products should also be available in nearby

Hamden, Coalton, & near the Hocking Valley State Park. The Second-Hand information listed

below is from a very reliable source that frequents this area.

Jerry's Jamestown Market (7/2009) – 185 E Broadway, at the corner with Harding, just

West of the US 35 interchange, Jackson – 12/2L/6P/6C/20/DB/SC/GB/24 – Diet

12/6P/2L/20 – Cherry 20 – Double Cola 20 - Jumbo Orange & Grape 20 – This tiny

store is like a Ski Mecca. Ski can be found in multiple place throughout the store. The

20oz & 10oz plastic bottles, single cans, and glass bottles (with Sugar, from Excel

Bottling in Illinois) are all in the coolers along the back wall. I also saw some 2 litres &

12-pack cans in coolers in another part of the store (I didn't actually check to see if they

were cold!). As if the main store wasn't enough, there was another room off to the right

that had more soda in it, including more 2 litres & 12-packs of Ski & Diet Ski. This

location also carries Gem Golden Cream Soda & has a Ski machine outside, facing

Harding Street. Second-Hand Update (2/2010): 24-can cardboard “flats” of original Ski

can also sometimes be found here, and the deli food is also good!

Kroger (7/2009) – 530 E Main, Jackson – 12/6P/2L – Diet 6P/12 – Cherry 6P – Chaser -

All found on the soda aisle, along with 6-pack plastic bottles of Gem Golden Cream

display right behind the check-out lanes. This location also carries Gem Golden Cream

Soda (found on the same display) & has a Ski machine outside that contains Ski in 20oz

bottles & other Gem flavors. Second-Hand update (9/2009): The Ski machine outside has

been repaired, and now contains 20oz bottles of Ski, Diet Ski, Double-Cola, and Gem

Golden Cream. Other flavors of Gem are apparently no longer available.

Kroger (7/2009) – 2 East A Street, Wellston – 2L/6P/12 – Diet 6P/12 – Double Cola 6P –
