Company Overviews
About Andy's Frozen Custard
Andy's Frozen Custard has always been fanatical about custard, and has served
it with pride since March 19, 1986. For more than 35 years, 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, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky,
Louisiana, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and
Texas, with plans for additional locations in the future.
These shops offer customers near and far 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 more than 100 locations open, with several more under
construction.
