Andy's Frozen Custard is getting ready to crack into Houston's Inner Loop, with its first inside-the-Loop shop taking over a former bank near Rice Village at 2348 W. Holcombe Blvd., Suite 100. Crews are in the home stretch of the buildout, turning the old lobby-style banking space into a walk-up custard counter with room for a small dining area. When it opens, the shop will bring Andy's concretes, shakes and Jackhammers to a corridor already popular with Rice University students and neighborhood shoppers.
According to the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation, the work at 2348 W. Holcombe Blvd. was filed as "Andy's Frozen Custard - Interior Build Out," with a listed start date of Oct. 1, 2025, and an expected completion date of May 31, 2026. The project record pegs the space at about 1,580 square feet and describes the job as a renovation from a bank into an ice-cream shop, with an estimated buildout cost of roughly $750,000. The filing identifies 2340 W Holcombe LLC as owner and names Faizan Yousuf as the tenant.
Houston Business Journal reports that Andy's is in the final stages of construction at the Holcombe site and is taking over the address that was once expected to become a Tim Hortons. The outlet notes the shop sits just inside the Inner Loop near Rice Village and shared photos of the storefront mid-renovation.
How This Fits Into Andy's Houston Push
As noted by Community Impact, Andy's opened a Barker Cypress location on May 4 as part of a broader Texas expansion. That coverage highlights how the brand has been steadily adding Texas shops this year while building out a regional footprint.
What To Expect From the Menu and Service
According to Andy's Frozen Custard, the shops revolve around vanilla and chocolate frozen custard made fresh every hour and served as concretes, shakes and sundaes. Many locations feature walk-up windows and drive-thru service, built for quick orders and a family-friendly menu.
No firm public opening date has been announced for the Holcombe location. Houston Business Journal did not list one, and the company has not posted an opening notice. The Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation project page now shows the buildout status as "Review Complete," indicating the interior work has cleared final review and the site is set for its next steps.
