lol @adnan.. nice facts

Snoopy was really good in the past but they vanished silently.

I wonder if any one has gone to ice village? They are one of the best in ice cream business today. They are beside old KFC and gulshan.

I guess everyone here is too young to remember Baskins? My family actually owned in partnership with a couple of family friends. We had branches in Clifton (now Hush Puppies), KDA (right off Karsaz) and Gulshan (near the KFC I think).

If I am not wrong, snoopy was joint venture of Miandad and Jahangir Khan?

AFAIK, the first branch of Snoopy was at Pehli Chowrangi Nazimabad just infront of SirSyed Girls college which had become famous dating spot at that time. Later snoopy was not never opened during college hours.

i used to love snoopy’s soft cone ice creams—the one with a double whammy of chocolate and vanilla. snoopy’s was the only place with good soft cones…dunno where i’ll get one now :(

I sure will remember it! I still remember their Caramel Crunch ice-cream.

My parents used to take me there when I was in school. Oh, the good old memories :)

Snoopy, well i remembed it fondly – but then during those time we all had time to actually go and eat out at the ice cream parlours – now the fad has tiled towards the coffee houses.

for newbees, Snoopy was co-owned by Jhangir Khan (Squah Champ) and Javed Miadad – so, maybe Javed Bhai has ventured into ‘new business’ (thanks to the D-Company) and Jhangir Khan old business that would be ‘custom-fying’ whatever that is…

nice post , anyway!

Oh man.. snoopy surely was a legacy … remember going there quite regularly for their chocolate topped cones and bars.. it was A HOT SPOT AT THAT TIME. and i m talking of the NIPA ONE.. i think in 90′s it was the lone party type eating place. others were so dull.. except defence and clifton’s… i will miss it and but not like losing diana or Nazia Hasan.. cuz it vanished slowly and then the replacement were equally good or even better.. especially in the case of KFC as that was actually the first KFC in Karachi, then came the ALaddin wala, that also got closed… and hey just got the menu of pizza next .. my office is very near to tariq road and will surely order a few
