A Sunset District institution since 1955. Polly Ann Wheel and Eric Wu -
Polly Ann Ice Cream Parlor
On Saturday, July 16, 2005 Polly Ann ice cream parlor celebrated its 50-year anniversary with a ribbon-cutting and all-day celebration. Single cones cost 99 cents all day at the Sunset district institution on the corner of Thirty-ninth avenue and Noriega streets. City Supervisor Fiona Ma was on hand for the ribbon cutting and to give owner Charlie Wu a proclamation from the mayor.
The first Polly Ann opened on July 16, 1955. In 1959, Bernice and Chuck Lassiter bought the store and owned it until the 1967. They helped make the store locally famous for its unusual flavors that won ribbons at the State Fair. The Lassiters sold the parlor to Ted and Lee Hanson who added some of the twists Polly Ann s has been known for over the years with Sunset District residents.
