Fosters Freeze (full name Fosters Old Fashion Freeze) is a chain of fast-food restaurants in California founded by George Foster in 1946 on La Brea Avenue in Inglewood, Ca. The Fosters Freeze name comes from the fact that it is best known for its soft-serve ice milk and milkshakes, which is reflected in the marketing slogan, "California's Original Soft Serve." Its mascot is an ice cream cone wearing a chef's hat. The restaurant's slogan is "Everything at Foster's is wonderful to eat". After 65 years in the business with 122 Fosters Freeze branches, El Pollo Loco recently signed a master franchise contract with Fosters Freeze allowing service of Fosters Freeze soft serve ice cream in 163 El Pollo Loco locations. Now, over half of El Pollo Loco's locations serve Fosters Freeze products. The Fosters Freeze franchise in Hawthorne, CA is reported to be the location at which Beach Boy band member Dennis Wilson saw the girl in the Thunderbird he sang about in his song titled "Fun, Fun, Fun."
