Description: Farrell's Ice Cream Parlour, Oregon, Images of America, Paperback Farrell's Ice Cream Parlours was an iconic restaurant chain that originated in Portland, Oregon. Originally opened by Bob Farrell and Ken McCarthy in 1963, the family-friendly chain would become known for classic ice cream sundaes and birthday party celebrations. The restaurants were designed using a turn-of-the-20th-century theme with a marble-topped soda fountain, Tiffany lamps, and waiters dressed in colorful vests and skimmer hats. While continuing to open new stores in Portland, Farrell and McCarthy developed a franchise program to expand Farrell's into other cities in Oregon, Washington, and Northern California. Patrick J. Baker worked at Farrell's Ice Cream Parlours in Greendale, Wisconsin, from 1981 to 1985 and later became an investor in Farrell's when the chain was revived from 2003 to 2019. Taken from numerous personal interviews and correspondence with Bob Farrell and Ken McCarthy, Baker shares the history of the chain up to the 1972 sale to the Marriott Corporation. This book uses photographs from the author's extensive collection of images of the Farrell's in Oregon, which were commissioned by Farrell and McCarthy in the 1960s.
