Andy's Frozen Custard has always been fanatical about custard and has served it with pride since March 19, 1986. For more than 40 years, Andy’s has used only the freshest ingredients for a frozen custard experience you can’t get anywhere else.
The Andy’s Frozen Custard tradition started in Osage Beach, Missouri when John and Carol Kuntz embarked on a new frozen custard endeavor. Their treat quickly became a legend at the lake, and soon took nearby Springfield, Missouri by storm.
It was at the original Springfield location where John and Carol’s son Andy and his wife Dana worked long hours learning the business from the ground up. Their fanaticism for a supreme product and unmatched customer service never wavered. Andy and Dana were always striving to expand and improve Andy’s Frozen Custard, they have taken the brand to new heights, with locations throughout Missouri, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Texas.
These shops offer customers near and far, from the original Osage Beach roots, a slice of hometown Americana, where it’s fun to be a kid for a while. At the heart of each Andy’s is a fun work environment, where everyone shares in the fanaticism that brought Andy’s to life, and keeps it going strong.
A unique but simple approach has been used to achieve such great success; hire great people and treat them right. John and Carol's philosophy was always, "If you are in the service business, you have to hire people that have a strong desire to serve. Pay them above average, train them well, and demand nothing but the best."
John, Carol, Andy, and Dana have been able to make Andy's Frozen Custard the largest dessert-only franchise in the world! Andy's can now be found in 15 states, and has 189 locations open, with several more under construction.
Who is Andy's Frozen Custard?
Andy’s Frozen Custard is a quick-service frozen dessert business. We are a freestanding restaurant, with drive through and walk-up service windows. We exclusively sell frozen custard treats. Andy’s has a wide variety of treats, from simple vanilla or chocolate cones, to seasonal favorites like our Pumpkin Pie Concretes and Strawberry Shortcake Sundaes.

What is Andy's Frozen Custard?
No one knows for sure the exact time or place Americans first tasted frozen custard. Like many great inventions, this gourmet treat grew in popularity, and is now enjoyed by people of all ages around the country. Some sources trace the custard’s beginnings to Coney Island, New York, in the early 20th century. Perhaps first sold as a carnival treat, frozen custard could be found in resort communities along the east coast of the United States.
By the 1930s, people in the Midwest were discovering frozen custard. After commercial freezers became more widely available, families started custard stands that turned into local landmarks. Many bear the original family name. The Kirkhoff family of Lafayette, Indiana, opened its first stand in 1932. The store is still in operation, making it the oldest continuously operating custard stand. Currently Milwaukee, Wisconsin sells more frozen custard than anywhere else, earning it the title of “Frozen Custard Capital of the World.”
Andy’s has updated frozen custard machines throughout the years, but the basic ingredient list for custard remains short and sweet: cream, sugar, vanilla extract, and a few other trade secrets. Creamier than regular ice cream, frozen custard contains more butterfat, and is churned slowly. Slower-turning blades keep air from being mixed into the custard as it freezes. The result is a dessert that is rich, thick, and decadent. Frozen custard is rarely packaged for store shelves, but instead made fresh hourly, and served immediately to maintain its luxurious creaminess.
When can I enjoy Andy's Frozen Custard?
Andy’s Frozen Custard is open all year! Sun, rain, sleet, or snow, it’s always a good time to enjoy Andy’s Frozen Custard. Andy’s heats our patios for those winter months, well-lit for those dark nights, and beautifully landscaped for any season.

Our spring treats include: Strawberry Shortcake, Blueberry, and Blackberries. Our summer treats feature Peaches and Key Lime Pie. The headlining fall special is our famous Pumpkin Pie, and winter brings Apple Pie, Candy Cane, Andy Nog and our freshly baked chocolate chip Cookie Casanova to the menu.
We always have our favorite treats on the menu, like our Straw-Ana Sundae, our Ozark Turtle, our Triple Chocolate Concrete, and our James Brown Funky Jackhammer. We even have take-home containers so you can have Andy's Frozen Custard in your freezer at all times! Some of our specialty pints and quart flavors include: chocolate chip cookie dough, mint chocolate chip, and butter pecan!
