Andy's Frozen Custard is the world's finest frozen custard and we are looking for the world's best franchisees. We have developed a system that is centered around great locations that deliver amazingly unique experiences. We build playful, efficient, and award-winning store designs, serving superior products, and an unmatched, zero-focused menu.

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 over 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 only laced with profitability, and viability. Other franchisors operate and oversee a 100% franchise owned business. Andy’s Frozen Custard remains committed to opening and operating company-owned stores, allowing us to continue innovating improvements in our menu, store operations, and customer service.


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 know if you take care of those things, everything else will take care of itself. Andy’s uses only the finest and freshest ingredients. These ingredients, sourced from a single dairy in the Midwest, make-up our proprietary “mix” which are prepared hourly in each location via our hand-built custard machines. By using the best ingredients and proprietary equipment, you can rest assured that our product is unmatched in the frozen custard business. Maybe even in the made-to-order treat business.

At Andy’s, our treats are served incredibly fast via our Drive Thru and outdoor walk-up ordering windows and enjoyed in the car or outdoor patio, or at home via Andy’s Anywhere treats for a family or for larger gatherings. We proudly and consistently offer a friendly and fun environment that is sure to create a sense of community for every customer who visits us. Our award-winning architecture attracts the eye, but also creates memories that 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 at every store. Andy’s Frozen Custard is a unique and memorable experience for everyone who has the pleasure of visiting us.


Who makes an ideal Andy’s Frozen Custard owner?

franchise owner at Andy's

Andy’s Frozen Custard is looking for restaurateurs & entrepreneurs who can execute, and recreate a very successful model. We have over 35 years of experience perfecting a process that has had proven success and are looking for experienced leaders, who possess an attention to detail and understand the complexities of operating multiple stores locations, developed over a relatively short period of time. Andy’s owners and operators 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 from late morning to late 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 and operating partner should not be looking for a standard 9-5 job, or a simple investment, but rather looking for an opportunity to run a business with hard work and proven success to build the brand in new markets.

Frozen Custard is a smoother and richer tasting version of ice cream, and is made in a way that prevents the product from melting too quickly, while staying creamy at a higher temperature. This unique product is not only delicious but sets us apart from all other frozen dessert competitors.
