Gilles Frozen Custard, 7515 W. Bluemound Rd., turns 70 this weekend. It's celebrating on Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m.-6 p.m. with charitable donations, customer appreciation raffles (you can win up to $1070), discounts, games, balloons, free popcorn and more.
According to Tom Linscott at Gilles, Gilles is Milwaukee's oldest custard stand. It was founded in 1938 by Paul Gilles and sold to long-time manager Bob Linscott in 1978. Linscott's son, Tom, is the current owner.

I'd go to Gillies after my paper route. I'd go after sporting events in grade school & high school & college. It was big part of everyone's life who grew up in the neighborhood and I still go about once a week. Gillies is the best.
