History

Established in 1946.

In the summer of 1945, Andy Harris, his wife Goldie and their daughter Sandy (for whom the business was named) and with their friend and business partner Glen Teter, moved to Austin from Akron, Ohio. After obtaining a 99 year lease from Rosa McPhail of McPhail's Florist, construction began in October 1945. Andy and Glen did all of the construction themselves and Sandy's opened in May 1946. Goldie ran it until 1964 when she and Andy sold out to Glen. Glen ran it until he sold it shortly before his death in 1969 to Ralph Moreland. The current owner, Jearl Ledbetter, bought Sandy's in November 1979.
