Ice Cream
Farrell approached a friend, Ken McCarthy, to leave his job at Carnation and join him creating Farrell's Ice Cream Parlours, which they opened in Portland, Oregon, on September 13, 1963. In 1968, with six stores, Farrell decided to franchise his concept. He appeared on the Merv Griffin Show, received the Horatio Alger Award from Norman Vincent Peale, and built the World's Largest Sundae for the Guinness Book of World Records.
In 1973, Farrell sold his 55 store chain of ice cream parlors to the Marriott Corporation, but remained as its spokesperson and developed a speech for new employees called Give 'em the Pickle!, based on a letter he received from a disappointed customer.
