Franchise Owner Testimonials
“
In our family, most of the adults came directly from Korea and went straight into business ownership. My family thought it would be a fun business venture and a fun departure from retail.

My father bought into the business in 1954, and I grew up working at Fosters Freeze. Now my son has worked with me as COO for 8 years!

My family’s been involved in the previous generation of Fosters Freeze dating all the way back to 1946. I crossed the bridge from working there to owning my own Fosters Freeze back in 1983- it has worked out well for me!

What is your favorite Fosters Freeze memory?
Our impressive legacy has cemented our position as a true California icon, making Fosters Freeze a LOT more than just another burger and milkshake franchise!

There are far too many memories to share. Like the time when my younger brother “invented” a sundae-sized banana split and we ran a special on “Mike’s Jr. Banana Split.” I was so jealous that it was named after him.

One of the lessons I’ve carried with me throughout life is customer service. If you sold somebody a cone and their child dropped it, you replaced it. If a shake was too thin, you made it right.

Son of an original Fosters Freeze Burger and Milkshake Franchise Owner
I have fond memories of going to the Fosters Freeze in Spring Valley with my parents. I can remember the ride there from our house, through the side streets, before the 125 freeway ever existed. Sometimes on our home way from Kmart (or just a special trip out there), we’d stop by Fosters Freeze for some ice cream and this was my favorite thing to get: A chocolate-dipped cone!

Lifelong Fosters Freeze Customer
When [Franchise Owners] the Whites first acquired Fosters Freeze, the business had three trucks. The trucks, which played music as they traveled, delivered ice cream to Delano and surrounding labor camps, as well as to Exeter, Lindsay, and other parts of Tulare. People would line up for ice cream cones and bars, and pile money on the table. My husband can recall purchasing an ice cream cone for 5 cents when the musical trucks came through his neighborhood.
