Andy's closing store at Fremont Center

Andy's Frozen Custard is closing one of its Springfield stores.

The eatery at 1300 E. Battlefield Road, located in front of the Fremont Center, is scheduled for closure on Jan. 28, according to a Facebook post from the company.

The post indicates the store was not intended to be a long-term restaurant.

"It was to be a short-term solution for added coverage in south Springfield," the post reads. "The Battlefield (Road) location was intended to generate customer sales in the southeast part of town by the mall and other retail locations until the larger, newer stores were constructed."

The post pointed to other area stores, including the 3830 S. Glenstone Ave. restaurant that opened in 2016. The Springfield-based company’s website lists around 150 locations in 15 states.

The 450-square-foot shop at the Fremont Center debuted in 2012, according to Springfield Business Journal archives. The building previously was used by Fog City Coffee.

R.B. Murray Co., which manages the Fremont Center, plans to list the space when Andy’s closes, said CEO Ryan Murray.
