PhinDeli Town Buford, WY - Owned by a Vietnamese Coffee Magnate

Another small town that dwindled down to only one resident, PhinDeli Town Buford, Wyoming, was bought by a man named Don Sammons in 1992. However, after his children moved out and his wife passed away, Sammons sold the town to a Vietnamese man who made his fortune in the coffee business. The town was sold for around $900,000, and the coffee magnate now serves his coffee at the local gas station.

The man renamed the town, and today it's the only place you can buy his coffee in the U.S. He still lives in Vietnam, but travelers can visit the town and sip down some of his famous coffee.
