About Us

The Drink Shop is proudly owned and operated by Austin and Kimberly Kestner of Camp Point, Illinois. Together with their three children, Kynlee, Adlee, and Kaden, the Kestners have built more than just a business; they’ve built a community-focused brand rooted in heart, family, and purpose.


Our journey began in 2020 with the opening of our first location in Mt. Sterling, Illinois, Kimberly’s hometown, followed by our second shop in Camp Point in 2023. What started as a simple business idea quickly grew into something much more meaningful.


Our mission was deeply shaped by our daughter, Kynlee, who was born with a Congenital Heart Defect. Through our family’s experience, we witnessed firsthand the power of kindness, generosity, and community support. That experience inspired us to make giving back a core part of who we are. Supporting local causes, foundations, and the communities that support us is not just something we do, it’s who we are.


At The Drink Shop, our employees are at the heart of our success. We value their dedication, consistency, efficiency, and commitment to growth, and we are incredibly grateful for the role they play in making our shops what they are.


We also value our customers and the relationships we’ve built along the way. We love creating fun, exciting drinks, introducing new ideas, and making sure there’s truly something for everyone. Whether you’re stopping by for your daily favorite or trying something new, we’re thankful to be a small part of your day.


Thank you for supporting The Drink Shop, where community, creativity, and heart come together.
