It was founded by George Foster in 1946 on La Brea Avenue in Inglewood, California, a location that still remains. 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 was "Everything at Foster's is wonderful to eat". HistoryGeorge Foster owned the western development rights for Dairy Queen. The name Dairy Queen was already being used in California so Dairy Queen was called Foster's Old Fashion Freeze in California.[5] After more than 70 years in the business, Fosters Freeze now has 67 Locations in California.[3][7] El Pollo Loco signed a master franchise contract with Fosters Freeze in 1994, allowing service of Fosters Freeze soft serve ice cream in El Pollo Loco locations.[6][7]{{rp|559}} Mark Hardinson, the director of marketing for the grilled-chicken chain, stated that sales increased from three percent to six percent at El Pollo Loco's co-branded locations that served Fosters Freeze's soft-serve desserts.[6] In 2002, there were 122 Fosters Freeze branches, not including the 163 El Pollo Loco restaurants serving Fosters Freeze products. Over half of El Pollo Loco's locations serve Fosters Freeze products.[6]Some of the company's earliest locations in California included Sunnyvale, Mountain View, and Palo Alto. The Palo Alto location, across the street from the Stanford University campus on El Camino Real, remains virtually unchanged since c. 1950.{{Citation needed|date=May 2013}} The oldest locations are often historic landmarks.[8] Also, the Atwater Village location was used in a scene of the movie Pulp Fiction where Bruce Willis' character runs over Ving Rhames.[9] The historical significance embodied in a Fosters Freeze location attracts patrons and has united community members to preserve locations. In 2006, a neighborhood in Menlo Park, located in northern California, presented to their city council a petition with about 800 signatures to avoid demolition of their local Foster's.[10] References1. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.fostersfreeze.com/history.html |work=Fosters Freeze |title=History |date= |author=}} 2. ^{{Citation|title=New Ventures|newspaper=Orange County Register|location=Santa Ana, California|date=14 June 2015|page=107|url=https://newspaperarchive.com/anonymous-other-articles-clipping-jun-14-2015-560512|accessdate=15 February 2018}}{{free access}} 3. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.fostersfreeze.com/locations.html |work=Fosters Freeze |title=Locations |date= |author=}} 4. ^{{Citation | author = Brittany Golob | title = Spotlight on Foster's Freeze | newspaper = Transform Magazine | location = London, United Kingdom | date = 21 December 2017 | url = http://www.transformmagazine.net/articles/2017/spotlight-on-fosters-freeze/ | accessdate = 13 February 2018 | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20180213193247/http://www.transformmagazine.net/articles/2017/spotlight-on-fosters-freeze/ | archivedate = 13 February 2018 }} 5. ^{{cite book | title = California's Highway 99: Modesto to Bakersfield | author= Keith Warwick PE | publisher = Arcadia Publishing | location= |url = https://books.google.com/books?id=7-WcKK01H1cC&printsec=frontcover&dq=Encyclopedia+of+Junk+Food+and+Fast+Food&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwiH2ouTsPHXAhXkmOAKHUvJB-EQ6AEIJjAA#v=onepage&q=Fosters%20Freeze&f=false | date = 2014 | pages = 65 & 93 | isbn = 9781439648117 | accessdate = 4 December 2017 }} 6. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |url= http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3190/is_24_37/ai_103672420/ | title= Wienerschnitzel parent Galardi Group Gobbles up Tastee-Freez | author = Amy Spector| date = 16 June 2003 | newspaper = Nation's Restaurant News | archiveurl = https://web.archive.org/web/20060228173953/http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m3190/is_24_37/ai_103672420/ | archivedate = 28 February 2006 | accessdate= 4 December 2017 |publisher= Gale Group}} 7. ^{{cite book | title = Fast Food and Junk Food: An Encyclopedia of What We Love to Eat, Volume 1 | author= Andrew F.
