Shake's Frozen Custard in Fayetteville, AR.

Shake's Frozen Custard is a frozen custard retailer founded by Don and Debbie Osborne in Joplin, Missouri in 1991. It was originally opened as Shakey's Frozen Custard but was changed to Shake's in 2001 in order to secure trademarks. Don and Debbie experimented with a variety of recipes and menu items until they were both satisfied, and their recipe proved to be extremely popular. Corey Osborne, Don's oldest son, opened the second location in Fayetteville, Arkansas in 1997. The new store was as successful as the original.

In 1999, the company began offering franchises and incorporated in Arkansas as Shake's Frozen Custard, Inc. Currently the franchise chain has nearly fifty stores in operation across nine states with many future locations planned.
