Evanston Girl Scouts Cookies Used in Frozen Treat at Andy's

Next time you are thinking of getting a treat at Andy’s Frozen Custard, try the seasonal treat Thin Mint Concrete and help support Evanston’s Girl Scouts. 

The frozen treat company buys its supply of Thin Mint cookies from local Girl Scouts and in Evanston it’s purchasing it from Girl Scout troop 42189, according to a press release. 

“As a company, we purchase all of the Thin Mint cookies locally as a way to support area Girl Scout troops,” Andy Kuntz, president of Andy’s Frozen Custard, said in a statement.  “Our store managers normally obtain their supply of cookies from relatives or friends whose daughters are selling Girl Scout cookies.  We then place an order for what is normally the troop’s largest single sale of cookies.” 

The menu features Thin Mint Concrete, which is made using the Girl Scout cookies, starting in mid-February until the end of March, or until the minty cookies supplies run out, according to a press release. 

Every year Andy’s Frozen Custard buys about 3,500 boxes of Thin Mint cookies for its Illinois Missouri, Arkansas and Texas locations and serves more than 100,000 Thin Mint cookies in the seasonal frozen treat.
