| Carl's Frozen Custard opened in 1947 and moved to this location in 1953. This seasonal stand continues to use its original Electro Freeze machines. New batches of chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry are made every day. The building is a Virginia Historic Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The design was modeled after the Frozen Dairy Bar built in 1950 by Carl's brothers in Falls Church, VA. That building has been demolished. It also had a similar, but smaller neon rooftop sign. The owner, Carl Sponseller, designed this rooftop sign in Fredericksburg. It is not known what sign company built it. The original, green wooden letters float above the windows spelling out "Thick Shakes, Quarts, Pints, Shakes, Sundaes, and Milk Shakes." For more, see this website. [map] |

Although it was established by Leon's mother and modeled after the Milwaukee stand, this location has always been a separate operation. This stand features car hop service. The custard machines bear the Carvel Custard King logo. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [map] |

Leon's Frozen Custard opened in 1942. The company had five locations in Wisconsin at one point and there were plans to expand all the way to Key West, FL. That never happened and the other locations have been sold. This walk-up stand is open year-round. About 90% of its sales comes from frozen custard. Leon's has also sold hot dogs from the beginning.
There was originally a neon skeleton sign of a howling dog installed in the window. The American flag sign was built in the 1940s. In 1955, the building was remodeled and the rooftop neon signs were installed. These non-animated signs remain and are lit at night. The dog sign is about six feet long. According to the sign shop that maintains Leon's signs, the dog sign would be the most difficult sign to replace because of the intricate neon bends. For more, see these websites: 1 and 2. [map] |
