LAFOLLETTE, TN (WLAF) – The Richy Cream Restaurant was located at the corner of West Central Avenue and South 9th Street. It was opened in the early 1950s by Mr. & Mrs. Bill Lynch.

In the beginning, it was only the center section that provided only walk up service. A short time later two additions were constructed. One addition was added to each side of the center making two dining rooms.

The top photo shows the Richy Cream in the 1960s. Mrs. Goins, Delone’s mother, took it over in the 1960s.

Later, the Goins would open the Crystal Drive-In on down the road to the west. 

Charlie and June Davis bought the Richy Cream building, and it became the Trailways Bus Depot. After that the Rob and Deb Woodson put in a flower shop.

Since then the building has housed several different businesses. Today it is the home of Something Forgotten Antiques & Collectables. (WLAF NEWS PUBLISHED – 05/16/2024-6AM)
