Nelson's Old Riverton Store The Nelsons Old Riverton Store in Riverton, Kansas has been operating along Historic Route 66 since before the Route officially opened. It was built by Leo Williams in 1925 and he operated the market as Williams Store until 1973 when Joe and Isabell Eisler purchased the business and operated it as Eisler Bros. Old Riverton Store. In 2011, the Eislers' nephew, Scott Nelson, who managed the store for years before that, purchased it and the name changed in 2012. Today Nelson's sells groceries, produce, flowers, Deli meats & cheeses, gifts, Route 66 memorabilia and local handicrafts. It is a popular stop for travelers cruising Route 66. Stop and purchase a sandwich and get a cold pop out of an original Coca Cola cooler. One of the original out houses is still sitting behind the store.
