After 30 years, Fosters Freeze, a California-based drive-thru franchise, is opening their first new location with a refreshed look and new technology. The franchisees are Jared Abbott, a multi-unit operator for the brand, and his father, Bruce Abbott. The family inked the deal for their first restaurant in 1954.
"Having been around for a long time — I grew up in the business, and I'm over 60 — it is quite interesting to see the number of things that come back," said Bruce Abbott. "Fosters has definitely benefited from it. Burgers went out of favor; now they're second to none in the world as far as food. And our ice cream has never fallen out of the top-tier position."
The new location is set to have an updated look and modern technology throughout. It will feature a double drive-thru, a new kitchen layout, a new point of sale and new technology tools.
