There’s Something Incredibly Unique Hiding Inside This Mom & Pop Restaurant In New Mexico

In southeastern New Mexico, just across the border from Texas, lies a family-owned restaurant with décor like no other. Casey’s is a beloved dining spot for Hobbs locals, who are seeking breakfast or burgers. However, the restaurant is also home to one of the biggest collections of Coca-Cola memorabilia in the nation.

The Coca-Cola advertising signs are visible before you even step into the restaurant.

It might seem random to encounter so many Coke products in Hobbs, but it actually makes sense because Coca-Cola has long had a presence in the city.

In part, that’s due to volume. In 1886, John S. Pemberton invented Coca-Cola and, even in the early days, he invested heavily in advertising. As a company, Coca-Cola continued to be forward thinking in terms of promotion and brand recognition, resulting in a plethora of collectible signs, snow globes, and coolers.

Other popular menu items include the Frito pie and the rotating specials. The restaurant also serves breakfast, offering dishes like pancakes, biscuits of gravy, and omelets.
Although Casey’s opened in 1976, the eatery has a 1950s diner vibe.
