As the oldest, continuously-run restaurant in Desoto County, Velvet Cream opened for business on July 23, 1947 at its current location.
Mr. Lee Lauderdale opened the business in his side yard that had formerly been a cotton field.
Walk-up, fast-food joints were a fad post World War II, and Velvet Cream would have been one such store. When it opened on its corner lot, US Highway 51 was only a gravel road through the sparsely-occupied town.
