Anderson's Celebrates Boy Scout Day!
The Boy Scouts of America (BSA) is one of the largest youth organizations in the United States, with over 4.5 million youth members in its age-related divisions. Since its founding in 1910 as part of the international Scout Movement, more than 110 million Americans have been members of the BSA.
The BSA goal is to train youth in responsible citizenship, character development, and self-reliance through participation in a wide range of outdoor activities, educational programs, and, at older age levels, career-oriented programs in partnership with community organizations. For younger members, the Scout method is part of the program to inculcate typical Scouting values such as trustworthiness, good citizenship, and outdoors skills, through a variety of activities such as camping, aquatics, and hiking. The Boy Scouts of America will celebrate its one-hundred second anniversary on February 8, 2012.
In recognition of the local Boy Scouts we will host a Boy Scout Day! If you are a Boy Scout come in on February 8 (with your uniform on) and we will honor you with one Free Lemon Ice! (Erie County locations).
Thank you to all the local Boy Scouts for providing assistance, care, spirit and GoodStuff throughout the WNY communities!

Scoopfuls of Fun
We thank you for the Scoopful of GoodStuff you shared with us in 2011 and wish you GoodStuff for 2012.
We are thrilled to have such terrific guests and to have worked with such wonderful teammates this past year.
We are proud to have supported over 1348 groups and organizations through donations of prize certificates! We hope these donations have brought a smile to the recipients faces as well as been encouraging to those folks and teams the events benefitted. It is a small way we can help those in our communities.
Our 7th year of High School Spirit Nights were festive and full of Team Spirit. Over 25 groups worked side by side with us at the stores to earn funds for their team. You, our guests, helped the students earn over $12,000.00. We encourage you to visit this year's spirit night's which begin Feb 6 and run through March 19.
We would like to thank our guests and teams for supporting our fundraising program for Camp Good Days & Special Times! While one lucky guest won Sabres season tickets, it is truly the kids at camp who were lucky to have received your donations totaling just over $7700.00!
Another highlight of 2011 was working with the Doyle Brothers Band to present "Scoopfuls of Summer Fun" to benefit Variety Kids! With your support we donated over $1500.00 to the kids!
Our Management teams have ventured out into the streets this past year to participate in events such as: Variety Kids telethon, Variety Kids Halloween Bash, Death by Chocolate at the Chapel, National Night out and more. It is always a pleasure to work with the groups that dedicate their hard work and spirit to help youngsters in our neighborhoods.
Our mission is to give and make smiles for each of our guests. We get energized and spirited with the smiles you send back to us over the counter!! May your 2012 be filled with Scoopfuls of Blessings and Good Stuff!
Cone-gratulations to our Ice Cream Department!
Each year, members of The National Ice Cream Retailers Association, who make their own ice cream, submit samples of their ice cream to a professor of dairy science and an independent laboratory, prior to the Annual Convention, to be analyzed and compared to ice cream standards. This year Dr. Johnny McGregor, Clemson University, Clemson, South Carolina analyzed samples of vanilla and chocolate ice cream submitted by members of the association. The ice cream is scored, according to color, texture, taste, and many other factors. Blue Ribbons are awarded to those scoring the highest marks, then Red Ribbons, and White Ribbons.
Our Watson's Sponge Candy Ice Cream also received a certificate of recognition in the "Best New Flavor" contest, judged by NICRA members.

Our teammate Tiffany from Delaware was our Top Overall Seller with 447 sold and the 2nd place was earned by Courtney at Sheridan with 422 sold. Way to go ladies!!

We are excited to announce that our ice cream elves are hard at work to create a Gluten Free Ice Cream Sandwich for you! That's right, all the great taste of our vanilla custard in a gluten free chocolate chip cookie! In addition you will soon see a Gluten Free roll for our Roast Beef Sandwiches!
"Songs and Sundaes on the Patio"
We are thankful for the guests who participated in the fundraising piece of Songs & Sundaes either by purchasing a "Have a Heart Sundae" or playing in the "Quart for a Cause" or "Scooper Duper" games all to benefit Variety Kids! The Anderson's ice cream team and the Doyle Bros also made a special stop at Children's Hospital for a concert and ice cream event for the families and kids during the weekend.
There is a limited number of Doyle Bros CD's available at Erie County locations for just $4.99 (and includes a certificate for a free order of fries), proceeds from these items also benefit the kids at Variety!
All Natural Roast Beef!
Anderson's Frozen Custard is now serving an All Natural Roast Beef at all 7 locations in Western New York. This new offering is in conjunction with Vintage Beef. Vintage Beef Farms are a small exclusive group of dedicated ranchers with generations of expertise in creating low stress environments. There is never any hormones or steroids used ever and there are no pesticides used in on the feed. Additionally the steers are raised with no antibiotics, a minimum of 300 days prior to processing. What does this mean for the guests at Anderson's? A better tasting product that is better for you. Available on the tradional Kimmel Weck roll or kaiser or Whole Grain and of course with horseradish for those who prefer!
Nels Anderson (owner with siblings Holly and Keith Anderson) has been working with the partners at Vintage to assure that the product profile would fit the parameters for which his father began with the first roast beef sandwich debuting in the spring of 1968! Proud to serve an all natural product as well as better tasting, the next step has been for Nels to assist in educating the management teams and servers in the improved product.
Anderson's is aware that Celiac Disease, gluten sensitivity and wheat allergies are very serious matters. Although we provide a list of gluten free products for our consumers, please be aware that like in any food service facility cross contamination may occur.
Anderson's Roast beef is completely Gluten Free but not the au jus. Gluten Free au jus can be ordered for catering orders; with advanced notice.
Dessert items that are gluten free include: Lemon ice and flavored Ices, Anderson's Frozen Custard, all flavors, Vanilla and Chocolate Hard Ice Creams and Vanilla No Fat No Sugar added soft serve ice cream. (Note while these are gluten free there is a chance of cross contamination.)
Anderson's, who have been proudly serving their signature frozen custard, homemade ice cream and all natural roast beef to the guests visiting the area locations has been in business since 1946. Information is available at andersonscustard.com or vintagebeef.com
They Love us, they really Love us! Anderson’s is proud to announce that our vanilla and strawberry homemade ice creams have been declared “blue ribbon” flavors at the National Ice Cream Convention in Arizona. The blue ribbon is the highest grade that submitted ice cream flavors can achieve. We are thrilled with the grading and are appreciative of the hard work of our team at the ice cream department.
