Family business turning 40

I remember my parents taking me to a Tastee Freez in Scarborough, Yorkshire, UK back in the 1950's. I believe there are not as many around as there used to be. Congrats to your 40 year anniversary. I still miss Tastee Freez!

You must have had a lot of friends that wanted to go by the place and get a soft I cream cone with a chocolate dip. That was one of my favorites as a kid.

Thanks, I am very lucky that my parents took the risk and I really enjoy the work.

I don't know about 40 more years though. I will be a very old man.

Just realized you are in NC. I will have to look it up and take a road trip! I'm in Raleigh. Unless of course the business is in VA? Still could take a road trip.

I've got 84 bucks. If i want a hundred cheeseburgers should I call ahead?

Congratulations, your parents would be proud. Quality and service always survive, you've done well.
