Andy’s Frozen Custard is a premium frozen dessert chain founded in 1986 by John and Carol Kuntz in Springfield, Missouri, renowned for its rich, creamy frozen custard made fresh hourly with Midwest cream. Unlike typical ice cream, its lower butterfat and egg-rich custard delivers a smoother, denser texture, served via fun “Scoops” presentations on concrete mix-ins. With over 85 locations across 14 states, the brand emphasizes a simple philosophy: exceptional customer service, employee care, and product quality in playful, modern-retro stores featuring outdoor patios and fast, personalized service. This founder-led model, blending company-owned and franchised units since 2003, fosters innovation while prioritizing profitability and community ties, making it a standout in the dessert market.
