Andy's Frozen Custard is one step closer to opening its second metro Atlanta outpost. The company is currently seeking bids for the construction of its new intown location. The new custard shop will be built at 3033 North Druid Hills Road in Toco Hills. Earlier this year, the company was granted a special land use permit (SLUP) from DeKalb County to install a drive-thru at the property.
ToNeTo Atlanta first reported on the planned restaurant in our December 2021 "Mega Bits & Bites."
The site plan for Andy's Frozen Custard includes a 2,170 square foot building with an additional 665-square-foot covered patio. Redevelopment of the site "will transform this outdated commercial property by adding additional green space along the road and enhancing the pedestrian experience in the property," the company touted in its 2021 SLUP application.
Andy's revealed this past November that its average unit volume hit $1.39 million.
The new Andy's joins Bruster's Real Ice Cream, Menchies and Steak 'n Shake in offering frozen treats in Toco Hills.
Andy's Frozen Custard Toco Hills, like its existing location on Old Milton Parkway in Alpharetta, is owned by franchisee Peach State Custard, LLC. There are also a pair of Andy's locations elsewhere in the state in Athens and Fayetteville. Founded in Osage Beach, Missouri in 1986 and now based in Springfield, Missouri, Andy's has more than 100 locations across 14 states.
Sources close to the restaurant tell ToNeTo Atlanta that Andy's Toco Hills is slated to open late this summer.
