Long before Lou founded the cafe, the site was originally the location of a bar known as the Palace Saloon during the 1880s. Sometime between 1885 and the early 1930s, the saloon was torn down and replaced with the Sisters of Mercy Soup Kitchen during the Prohibition era, which was active in 1931. Between 1931 and 1955, Lou came along and established the cafe, which became a popular spot for the young people of Hill Valley to hang out, particularly after school. By the 1980's, Lou's Cafe been replaced by fast food restaurants like Burger King as the popular place for young people to hang out. By 1985 it had been converted into Lou's Aerobic Fitness Center to capitalize in the aerobics trend of the era. By 2015, the location saw a revival as a popular spot for young people to hang out, as the Cafe 80's had replaced Lou's Aerobic Fitness Center.
