Regarding Ted Drewes Frozen Custard, St. Louis, Missouri. Ted Drewes originally opened his frozen custard stand in St. Petersburg, Florida. It wasn't until 1930 that he would expand his business to St. Louis, opening more locations. In 1959, his signature "concrete" (which is a malt or shake so thick that it is served upside down) was introduced. Today, there are two locations (Chippewa and South Grand, both in St. Louis). Drewes' son continues to run the family-owned business. The place also specializes in selling Christmas trees in the winter.
