Andy’s Frozen Custard Breaks Ground on New Store in Downers Grove, IL

DOWNERS GROVE & LINCOLNSHIRE, IL — April 2025 – A sweet new addition is coming to the Ogden Avenue corridor, as Andy’s Frozen Yogurt officially broke ground recently on its newest location in Downers Grove, Illinois. The 1,960-square-foot retail store will feature a modern layout and a convenient two-lane drive-thru, enhancing access and customer experience along this active commercial stretch.

Manhard Consulting is proud to be part of the development team for this exciting project, providing full civil engineering services including full permitting, site surveying, and landscape architecture. This project represents the third successful ground-up collaboration between Manhard and a rapidly expanding retail brand.

Steve Shanholtzer, Senior Project Manager at Manhard Consulting, was on-site for the groundbreaking ceremony and spoke to the importance of the development.

“It’s always rewarding to help bring a project like this to life—especially one that blends thoughtful design, accessibility, and community appeal,” Shanholtzer said. “Our team is proud to support Andy’s Frozen Yogurt in expanding their presence in the Chicago suburbs.”

Once completed, the store is expected to offer both walk-up and drive-thru service, creating a family-friendly destination that brings both convenience and fun to residents and visitors alike. The addition of enhanced landscaping and modern site amenities will further contribute to the revitalization of the Ogden Avenue corridor.

Construction is underway, with an anticipated opening in mid- or late August 2025.
