| TASTEE-FREEZ |
| Tastee-Freez suburb of Chicago, IL |
Jim's Tastee-Freez Delmar, NY |
 |
 |
| Tastee-Freez Corapolis, PA |
Uncle Ken's (gone) Willimantic, CT |
 |
 |
|
Tastee-Freez started selling soft-serve ice cream in 1950 and had 1,600 locations by 1965. The company now has locations in 36 states. Most of the walk-up stands have been remodeled and have become full-scale fast food operations. The locations near Chicago and in Delmar are nicely maintained, while this one in Corapolis is now covered with siding.
Uncle Ken's was obviously a former Tastee-Freez. The building and sign were demolished in 2006. For more about Tastee-Freez, see their website. For a different style sign, see this one in Tulsa, OK. |
| Custer City Drive-in Custer City, PA |
Ice Cream Time Ypsilanti, MI |
|
 |
 |
 |
| The Custer City Drive-in and Ice Cream Time must be former Tastee-Freez locations. |
| Tastee Treet Sparta, WI |
|
 |
 |
| The Tastee Treet is a former Tastee-Freez with altered signage. |
| Dixie Soft Serve Monroe, MI |
Miller's Five Drive-in Augusta, KS |
 |
 |
|
The Dixie Soft Serve building looks like a former Tastee-Freez. The freestanding sign is unusual though.
Miller's Five Drive-in looks to be a former Tastee-Freez. It has been Miller's since at least the 1960s. For more, see their website. [photo/info thanks Glenda Campbell] |
| Whipple Dari Drive-In Canton, OH |
Kline's Freeze Manassas, VA |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
The Whipple Dari Drive-In is another former Tastee-Freez.
Kline's Freeze was originally a Tastee-Freez. It has been Kline's since 1965. For more, see this website. |
| Fros-T-Treat Hot Springs, AR |
 |
| The Fros-T-Treat is probably a former Tastee-Freez. I believe it has been Frost-T-Treat since 1988. |
| DB's Drive-in Weedsport, NY |
former Tastee-Freez Fuquay-Varina, NC |
 |
 |
| Tastee-Freez Hillsville, VA |
|
 |
 |
|
DB's Drive-in started out as a Tastee-Freez around the mid-1950s. The original roofline looked like the one in Hillsville below.
The former Fuquay-Varina Tastee-Freez is now RJ's Place. The building has been been altered but the diamond roofline is still somewhat intact. [photo thanks Robby Delius] |
| Tastee-Freez Goldsboro, NC |
Tastee-Freez North Aurora, IL |
Tastee-Freez Chicago, IL |
 |
 |
 |
|
This Goldsboro Tastee-Freez is an example of the company's sawtooth roof style building.
The North Aurora Tastee-Freez opened in 1967 and this sign would seem to be from then. The building suffered a major fire in 2003 and was remodeled. It was vacant in 2006 when this photo was taken. The Chicago Tastee-Freez features another old plastic sign. I believe this stand has been here since 1951. |
| Tastee-Freez Chilhowie, VA |
|
 |
 |
| This Chilhowie Tastee-Freez still retains some of its plastic signage. |
