The origins of the Foster's Freeze soft serve ice cream chain started with the opening of the first store in 1946 in Inglewood, California. It was so successful the owners quickly began opening up other stores throughout southern California and finally began selling franchises in about 1955. They are allegedly California's first fast-food chain. This store in San Luis Obispo, California, probably dates back to the early or mid '50's and is one of three Foster's Freeze stores in San Luis Obispo County.
