Tastee-Freez is an American franchised fast-food restaurant specializing in soft serve ice cream.

Tastee-Freez products are now available at four remaining ice cream stores and approximately 375 locations of quick-serve restaurants, Wienerschnitzel and Original Hamburger Stand.

[2][3] Maranz invented a soft serve pump and freezer which enabled the product, and their Harlee Manufacturing Company (a portmanteau of Harry and Leo) produced the machines which franchisees would buy and use in their respective locations.

[3] The chain attempted to expand into England in the early 1960s where they began selling their products out of ice cream trucks.

This business model was also attempted in the United States but proved so financially unsuccessful that Tastee-Freez filed for chapter 11 bankruptcy in late 1963.
