Ted Drewes is a chain of frozen custard shops in St. Louis, Missouri, United States. The frozen custard franchise was founded by Ted Drewes, Sr. in 1930. The shop on Chippewa Street (designated as a section of historic U.S. Route 66) is open much of the year, while the South Grand Boulevard location is open from mid-May through late August. In 2014, a third location was opened at St. Louis Ballpark Village next to Busch Stadium.
