Ribbon Cutting Held for Station 50 Sip and Swirl

Station 50 Sip and Swirl, a family-owned drink and dessert shop, officially opened its doors with a ribbon-cutting ceremony on Wednesday, January 21, attended by city officials, community members, and the Diaz family, owners of the new business.

The event drew local leaders, including Fallon Mayor Kenneth Tedford, Chief of Staff Bob Erickson, Councilwoman Kelly Frost, and representatives from the Fallon Chamber. 

The Diaz family, co-owners Rusty and Dan Diaz, manager Addison Diaz, and other relatives, welcomed guests and introduced the shop’s offerings, which include customizable soft drinks, teas, coffees, and a variety of pastries and muffins.

Station 50 Sip and Swirl sets itself apart with a menu boasting 30 flavors that can be mixed into drinks, available in cream base, Red Bull, or club soda. The shop also serves vanilla and chocolate ice cream from a machine originally used at Bob’s Root Beer Drive-In, connecting the business to local tradition. 

The name “Station 50 Sip and Swirl” reflects the family’s deep roots in Fallon: Dan Diaz serves at Federal Fire at NAS Fallon and volunteers with the Fallon Churchill Fire Department, while “50” is part of their D-50 Honey Ranch brand.

Rusty Diaz, who counts Dr. Pepper with a splash of lavender and blackberry among her favorite drink combinations, wanted the business to reflect both his personal and professional life. The shop’s atmosphere is welcoming, with Addison Diaz greeting customers with a smile and helping newcomers design their perfect beverage.
