Andy's Frozen Custards
This store in Missouri serves the midtown community in Kansas City! This store opened on Friday, June 12, 2015, and was store #24 for Andy's. Andy's Frozen Custard has always been fanatical about custard, and has served it with pride since 1986. For more than three decades, only the freshest ingredients have been used for a frozen custard experience you can’t get anywhere else.
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."

Betty Rae’s Ice Cream
David and Mary met while in college at Columbia, Missouri, and ice cream would follow them through their relationship. They both put in time behind the counter and in the kitchen of Sparky's Homemade Ice Cream, a one-in-a-million parlor renowned for its collection of weird paintings and yarn animals as well as for its wonderful flavors. An early co-creation of theirs was Lavender Honey, a flavor they made on a whim that went on to become a longstanding local favorite.
Betty Rae was David's grandmother, a great lady and phenomenal cook who had a taste for the sweeter side of life. Her spirit of invention, of preparing great food for good friends and of making room for fun will live on in Betty Rae's Ice Cream!
