Since
1946
Fosters Freeze has been a California tradition since the mid 1940’s. The Fosters story begins in 1946 when George Foster opened the first Fosters Freeze in Inglewood, California. He introduced the soft serve cone and a line of soft serve desserts.
The unique product became so popular that he opened a chain of restaurants. As California grew, so did the Fosters concept. Made-to-order hamburgers, fries and other food items were added to the menu.
Fosters Freeze truly could be described as California’s first fast-food chain!
