Terry leased out the restaurant until 1973 when his daughter Evelyn, and her husband Jimmie Toler, took over. Even though The LaPlace Frostop has completed two renovations, the first in 1981 and again in 1996, it has retained its old-fashioned, drive-in atmosphere. Today, The LaPla

Most people recognize the giant revolving Frostop mug.
Few know it was developed right here in the New Orleans area.
Frostop began in 1926 when L.S. Harvey opened the first Frostop root beer stand in Springfield, Ohio. The concept quickly gained popularity and spread across the country.
In 1954, T.W. Ganus opened the South’s first Frostop and introduced an idea that would become the chain’s most recognizable symbol.
Using the slogan, “Under the Sign of the Revolving Stein,” Ganus developed a distinctive restaurant design centered around a giant revolving frosted root beer mug mounted above the building.
The mug wasn’t simply a sign.
It was the centerpiece of the entire concept, designed to catch the attention of travelers and let them know a frosty mug of root beer was waiting ahead.
Ganus copyrighted the design and later sold the rights to Frostop, allowing the revolving mug and building concept to be used across the country. In 1957, he applied for a United States patent for what was officially described as a “Combined Beverage and Food Vending Building.” The patent was granted in 1958.
That same year, my grandfather, Morris Terry, built the LaPlace Frostop.
The photos in this post include original patent drawings, the patent plaque we have today, and a photograph of the LaPlace Frostop shortly after it opened in 1958.
Over time, the Frostop chain disappeared, leaving only a handful of independently owned Frostop restaurants still operating today.
But our mug remains.
Nearly 68 years later, it is still doing exactly what it was designed to do.
It still catches the eye of travelers.
It still welcomes people off the highway.
And it still serves as a reminder of a time when America’s roads were lined with unique roadside landmarks that were impossible to mistake for anywhere else.
Some signs advertise a business.
This one became part of American roadside history.

Old Ways. New Tools.

🟦 Blue for here.
🟨 Yellow to go.

We still write every order by hand, just like we’ve always done.

Today, those handwritten tickets work alongside iPads instead of an old cash register.

68 years later, we’re still blending tradition with technology.

Because staying true to your roots doesn’t mean standing still.

The Road Changed. The Mug Didn’t.

When my grandfather, Morris Terry, built Frostop in 1958, it was simply an investment on Highway 61.

Back then, Highway 61 was one of the main roads through southeast Louisiana. Travelers passed restaurants, motels, service stations, and roadside attractions every day. Businesses depended on being seen.

The giant rotating root beer mug was part of that. Its purpose was simple:

Catch the eye of travelers and give them a reason to stop.

Then came the interstate.

Like thousands of roadside businesses across America, we suddenly found ourselves off the main path. Traffic moved elsewhere, and many of the businesses that once lined Highway 61 closed, disappeared, or were simply forgotten.

We didn’t.

We adapted.

Over the years, we’ve remodeled and modernized the restaurant to keep it updated and to repair termite damage, while remaining true to what made Frostop special in the first place.

When Hurricane Ida destroyed our iconic mug in 2021, we made the decision to spend $72,000 rebuilding it.

To many people, that probably seemed impractical.

To us, it was essential.

The mug isn’t just a sign.

It’s the heart of Frostop.

Our local community has supported us for generations, and people working in the area still stop by every day. But something remarkable has happened over the last few years.

Social media has become the new highway.

The giant mug that once attracted travelers on Highway 61 now reaches people across Louisiana, across the country, and around the world. Instead of spotting it from the road, people discover us through a reel, a photo, a story about our history, or a sunset video of the neon turning against the evening sky.

Then they decide to make the trip.

At a time when LaPlace has faced its share of challenges, we’re proud to help bring people here. We’ve welcomed visitors from nearly every state and from countries thousands of miles away, many of whom first discovered us online.

The road changed.

Technology changed.

But 68 years later, that giant mug is still doing exactly what it was built to do in 1958.

Giving people a reason to stop in LaPlace.

Only now, it reaches farther than anyone could have imagined.
