Summer is ending, but it's always a good time to eat ice cream, and South Carolina is getting a new ice cream spot. This ice cream spot is actually already a popular frozen treat brand, but they're expanding, and the new location opens soon. I, personally, love eating ice cream no matter the season. Thankfully, in South Carolina, it usually doesn't get too cold to want to avoid a frozen treat. Even if it did, though, I would still want ice cream, because it's ice cream.

South Carolina is Getting a New Ice Cream Spot

Andy's Frozen Custard has announced it will open a new location in South Carolina. The restaurant will be located at 2221 Boiling Springs Road next to Clutch Coffee in Boiling Springs, South Carolina. They'll open on Wednesday, Sept. 11, and be open daily from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. or until 11:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays.

As for what to expect, this ice cream spot will offer a drive-through, walk-up windows and a heated patio for when the temperatures dip. Andy's also offers a pup-cone for your doggies, which is really cute.

Get to Know Andy's Frozen Custard

Andy's Frozen Custard is actually the largest dessert-only franchise in the world, according to the company. The business is now in 15 states and has more than 150 locations open. Andy's is expanding, which includes the new South Carolina location. They're so popular, that they even have merch on their site, so they're a bona fide brand.

As for the history, Andy's opened its first location in 1986, so they've been around for more than 37 years. They claim to only use "the freshest ingredients for a frozen custard experience you can't get anywhere else." Their first shop was in Osage Beach, Missouri.

"It was at the original Springfield location where John and Carol's son Andy (and his wife Dana) worked long hours learning the business from the ground up," they explain on their website. "Their fanaticism for a supreme product and unmatched customer service never wavered. Andy and Dana were always striving to expand and improve Andy's Frozen Custard. They have taken the brand to new heights with locations throughout Missouri, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas."

They add, "These shops offer customers near and far, from the original Osage Beach roots, a slice of hometown Americana, where it’s fun to be a kid for a while"
