| General store, bar, pool hall, and licensed card room first owned by D. C. Cole. Originally located on Imperial Dam Rd., until it burned down in a fire in 1969. It reopened in 1970 on West Mehring Road, about 15 miles north of Winterhaven. Also spelled "Coles Corner". The bar closed in the 2010s, with gaming long gone before that.
