Farrell’s Ice Cream Parlour opened for business on Friday the 13th of
September, 1963. The first parlour was located at 21st and W. Burnside in
Portland, Oregon. Bob Farrell and Ken McCarthy were the founders and proprietors
of this unique parlour restaurant. "When we opened our first store, we had 32
employees, $1,300 in the bank and owed $26,000," remarks Ken about that first
day. -Farrells
This is near and dear to my heart. Farrell's had a location in my home town in the mall. We would eat there regularly, we had many parties there as well.

This is my location in the 1980s.

Our restaurant closed down.
The last parlours closed around 1992. After that, only the franchises
in San Diego, CA and Eugene, OR still operated. Beginning 2008 Farrell's has re-opened locations with currently eight in S. CA. and one in Hawaii. - Farrells'
random question, you mentioned that some Samantha Items would come out today(maybe) do u know i they r coming out?
ReplyDeleteIt's still uncertain about the rumor. If there is something new it would be before Black Friday. My guess is not. Sometime these rumors are just that - rumors.
DeleteOooooohhhh, I love these! Summaya is dying for a parlor now! :3

The photo of the location you went to back in the 1980's...is that the one that was located at the Columbia Center Mall in Kennewick, WA? It looks like the entrance to that one I visited in the early-mid 80's before it closed.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry, these images are from Pinterest. I don't have any location details. I went to the one in Downey CA. It was such a great place. I'm glad you were able to go!
DeleteI too went to the one in Downey... went to Bellflower HS in the late 70's :) Farrels was one of our favorite hangouts :)
DeleteWhat?? I went to Warren HS 80s. Thats awesome.
