What or who are Swenson’s?
A restaurant chain in Singapore, apparently.
Swensen’s is a venerable, 75+ year-old ice cream shop in San Francisco in the Russian Hill neighborhood. At some point in the ‘70s, I think, Old Man Swensen franchised his concept nationally and internationally. I remember a number of other outlets in shopping malls and touristy towns around California. As far as I know, most of those franchised locations failed, but apparently a branch lives on in Singapore. To an extent, it’s like Woolworth’s which died off in its home country but lives on in a few places like Australia.
