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.
