Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlour Corporate Office

Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour

Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlours was founded in 1963 by Bob Farrell and Ken McCarthy in Portland, Oregon. The company became quickly known for giving children free sundaes on their birthday’s, as well as for their 1900 turn of the century decor, player pianos, and waiter costumes that include straw boat hats.

At the height of the chain’s popularity, there were 120 Farrell’s locations. The company fell on hard times after 1980 and by 1990, nearly all Farrell’s locations were closed or sold. After a lengthy legal battle, Parlour Enterprises was determined to be the new owner/operator of the chain. The chain quickly opened 6 locations throughout California and 1 in Hawaii. The company has been in talks to reopen the original Farrell’s location in Portland.

The company offers a wide range of ice cream dishes, sundaes, milk shakes, and hamburgers.

This restaurant chain is known for turning the grill around to face customers, so they can see their food being prepared, rather than hiding it in the kitchen. Charley’s Grilled Subs is known for offering a wide variety of sandwiches including the traditional Philly steak sub, teriyaki chicken, habanero chicken, spicy Asian BBQ, and the South Philly sub.

Today, Charley’s Grilled Subs has 500 locations in 46 states, with most of these being franchised operations. There are also Charley’s locations in 16 other countries, including Japan, Canada, and Saudi Arabia.
