| TASTEE-FREEZ (page 1) |
| 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. |
| Tastee Treet Pocatello, ID |
 |
| The Tastee Treet was also originally a Tastee-Freez. The building has either been drastically altered or rebuilt. There is also a plastic pole sign now promoting their Space Burgers. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. |
| Dixie Soft Serve Monroe, MI |
Miller's Five Drive-in Augusta, KS |
 |
 |
|
The Dixie Soft Serve was 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 |
S&K Dairy Cup Hillsboro, OH |
 |
 |
|
The Whipple Dari Drive-In is another former Tastee-Freez.
The S&K Dairy Cup has occupied this former Tastee-Freez since around 2009. Before the S&K, it was known as the Fiftee-Freez. For more, see this website. |
| Kline's Freeze Manassas, VA |
|
 |
 |
| Kline's Freeze was originally a Tastee-Freez. It has been Kline's since 1965. For more, see this website. |
| Hasty Freez Albany, OR |
|
 |
 |
| This Hasty Freez opened in 1952 as a Tastee-Freez. Supposedly, it was never part of the chain and changed its name to Hasty when it was confronted by Tastee-Freez. I find it more likely that it was originally a Tastee-Freez and simply changed names later. The neon cone flashes on and off at night. There is another Hasty Freez sign in nearby Lebanon, OR. |
| Drive-in Colorado Springs, CO |
BJ's Velvet Freez Colorado Springs, CO |
|
 |
 |
 |
|
The Drive-in is a former Tastee-Freez from the 1950s. For more, see this website.
BJ's Velvet Freez opened as a Tastee-Freez in 1954. For more, see this website. |
| Sherald's Burger Bar Price, UT |
Fros-T-Treat Hot Springs, AR |
 |
 |
|
Sherald's Burger Bar is another former Tastee-Freez. It has been Sherald's since at least the late 1960s.
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 |
|
 |
 |
| Tastee-Freez Hillsville, VA |
|
 |
 |
| former Tastee-Freez Fuquay-Varina, NC |
 |
|
DB's Drive-in started out as a Tastee-Freez around the mid-1950s. I'm not sure if this blue tile is original or if the building and roofline looked more like the one in Hillsville.
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] |
| former Tastee-Freez Goldsboro, NC |
Tastee-Freez North Aurora, IL |
Tastee-Freez Chicago, IL |
 |
 |
 |
|
The former Goldsboro Tastee-Freez is an example of the company's sawtooth roof style building. This location is now known as the Sof-T-Shop.
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. |
