Summertime means baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, and CUSTARD. The new Andy's Frozen Custard located at 3100 St. Michael Drive is really close to opening. Construction crews are doing the finishing touches on the 2,056-square-foot building that will feature some sweet tasty treats.

The wait is almost over but the wait will be well worth it. Andy's is expected to open late next week if all goes well according to a post published May 31, from TXK Today's Facebook page. If for some reason the opening gets delayed, it is expected to open this month.

The state-of-the-art oddly shaped building is reminiscent of a 50s-themed soda fountain with its bright red. yellow, and white, checkered design.

The new Andy's Frozen Custard is one of over 100 locations in 14 states nationwide. The Texarkana location is owned by East Texas Boys Custard LLC, which owns several other locations in Texas and Louisiana.

I love their slogan,  Andy's Frozen Custard has been "scoopin' the finest" since 1986.
