Friday nights, the kids from Riverdale High would gather at Pop’s Malt Shop after the football game.
Archie and Reggie would trade insults, Betty and Veronica competing fiercely for their attention. Moose Mason would administer beatdowns on anyone he suspected of making eyes at Midge, and Jughead would inhale his weight in cheeseburgers.
This happy state of affairs ended when Pop took ill and was forced to sell the business.
Under Duncan Macallan’s ownership, the Shop became even more popular... until a drunken Reggie died in a flaming car wreck.
After that, the Riverdale kids avoided Macallan’s Single Malt Shop.
