Fosters Freeze was founded by George Foster in 1946. The original location was on La Brea Avenue in Inglewood, California. That location is still in operation. The company offers mainly soft-serve ice cream and ice cream creations, milkshakes, hamburgers, and French fries.
The company was purchased in June 2015 by Kishan Patel, who once owned several franchises. As of 2015, the company had 88 locations, most of them in California. All locations are franchised.
Many of the company’s original stores, including Palo Alto, Mountainview, and Sunnyvale, have remained virtually unchanged since the 1950s.
In July 2023, a Fosters Freeze in Fresno, California, in business since 1976, was closed to make way for a new Starbucks location.
Fosters Freeze maintains a corporate office in Pomona, California.
