Andy's Frozen Custard has always been fanatical about custard, and has served it with pride since March 19, 1986. For more than three decades, only the freshest ingredients have been used 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. 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, Illinois, Kansas, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Tennessee and Texas, with plans for locations in South Carolina and Louisiana in the near future.

These shops offer customers near and far, from its 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 10 states, and has more than 50 locations open, and several more under construction. 

Andy's Recipe for Success 

The recipe is simple and the ingredients are concise. Take care of your customers, take care of your employees and take care of your product. This simple philosophy is time tested and proven. 

Andy's Frozen Custard is the world's best custard and we are looking for the world's best franchisees. We have developed a system that is centered around great locations that produce an amazing atmosphere. We highlight unique building designs, a unique product and a unique owner. We are looking for people who can replicate the Andy's way in places all over the United States. 

WHY IS ANDY’S FROZEN CUSTARD DIFFERENT THAN ALL THE OTHER FRANCHISES THAT ARE AVAILABLE?

Andy’s Frozen Custard started in 1986 and was originally created to provide means to a hard working family. Now nearly 30 years later, the foundation on which it was built, stands tested and maintained. The strong foundation of Andy’s Frozen Custard has created systems that are not only laced with profitability, but also viability. Other franchises are founded on the ideas that they will be franchised and lack the insight on what it takes to be successful by your own means. Andy’s Frozen Custard is still opening and operating corporate owned stores that are run the exact same way as our franchise locations.

WHY IS ANDY’S FROZEN CUSTARD THE BEST IN THE BUSINESS?

At Andy’s Frozen Custard, we believe in taking care of three things: our product, our customers, and our employees. We believe if you take care of those things, everything else will take care of itself. Andy’s only uses the finest and freshest ingredients. These ingredients are formed into our proprietary mix that is used within our proprietary hand crafted custard machines. By only using the best ingredients and machines, you can rest assured that our product will be something that is unmatched in the business.

At Andy’s, our treats are served in a fast, friendly and fun environment that is sure to create a sense of community to each and every customer that stops by our shops.  Our living architecture not only holds the power to draw in any eye, but also creates memories that will last a lifetime. We offer support and training to each of our locations and ensure that the proven success of Andy’s Frozen Custard is replicated. Andy’s Frozen Custard is a unique and addictive experience for everyone who has the pleasure of visiting us.

WHAT IS THE ANDY’S FROZEN CUSTARD BUSINESS MODEL?

Andy’s Frozen Custard is a time tested, family owned and operated, systems proven operation.  We sell only the best proprietary products in a clean, modern-retro atmosphere that our employees enjoy working in. We use a face-to-face customer service model (no speakers) to ensure that we maintain a connection with our customers from the moment they arrive until the moment they leave. Andy’s Frozen Custard uses a business model with an easy to control cost of goods system, along with a staffing metric that is measurable and reflects high levels of productivity. We measure all of our costs and staffing via cutting edge POS systems and detailed back of the house recording systems.

Here at Andy’s Frozen Custard, we believe that support and training is vitally important. We have an on-site support and corporate training system. We bring the franchise and staff in for corporate training and offer an evaluation. We want to coach and lead you to reach the next level of operation. Over 80% of our franchisees own multiple locations due to the high level of support and training from start to finish.

Andy’s Frozen Custard is looking for entrepreneurs who can replicate, rather than recreate. We have spent close to 30 years perfecting a process that has had proven success and we are looking for strong leaders who possess an attention to detail. Andy’s owners need to be heavily involved with all aspects of the business and be ready to capitalize on the untapped potential within a community. While Andy’s offers treats at all times of the day and night, an Andy’s owner must understand that the majority of their sales will come during the night and weekend hours. An Andy’s owner should not be looking for a standard 9-5 job, but rather looking for an opportunity full of hard work and proven success.
