Brand overview
Founded in 1986, Andy's Frozen Custard has spent over 35 years perfecting the dessert experience. The franchise operates a focused, drive-thru and outdoor walk-up model with no inside seating, delivering made-to-order treats in a modern-retro atmosphere. By keeping the menu centered on their signature product and utilizing proprietary custard machines, Andy's creates a fast, personalized service model that stands out from typical frozen dessert competitors. The brand continues to open and operate company-owned stores alongside franchised locations to continuously drive innovation in menu, operations, and customer service.

Why choose
Andy's offers a time-tested, founder-led concept with over 35 years of proven success and systems designed for profitability. The franchise maintains company-owned stores to continuously innovate and improve operations, rather than operating as a 100% franchise-owned business. Owners benefit from a unique product that sets them apart from all other frozen dessert competitors, an easy-to-control cost of goods system, and an efficient, measurable staffing model. Award-winning store architecture attracts attention and creates lasting community memories.

Growth Trends
Training & support
Andy's provides a combination of on-site support and corporate training systems to every franchisee. Franchisees and their staff are brought in for corporate training and evaluations. The brand uses a franchise business consultant model, with consultants visiting all locations throughout the year to coach and lead operators to the next level.
Ideal candidate
Andy's seeks experienced restaurateurs and entrepreneurs who can execute and recreate a very successful model, particularly leaders with the attention to detail and operational complexity needed to manage multiple locations. Candidates must be heavily involved in all aspects of the business and willing to work evenings and weekends when the majority of sales occur, rather than seeking a standard 9-5 job or a passive investment.
