Open most likely in 1967, Sandy's Springfield, Illinois (East location) was Sandy's #118. Sandy's Springfield East (18th & South Grand) was soon joined by its sister location Sandy's Springfield North which was located at 1135 N. 9th Street and was the chain's #120th location. Springfield had five known Sandy's. One opened most likely in 1965 while the other four probably opened in 1967. They were known as East, West, North, South and Downtown!
Sandy's fan Ken Torricelli remembers Sandy's Springfield, Illinois East!
I am a 46 year old attorney who practices in Champaign , Illinois . As a young man I grew up in Springfield , Illinois and recall the South Grand Ave. Sandy ’s location.
My question is did Sandy’s serve a gooey, marsmallow treat which was served from a flat pan after being drizzled with a brown gooey caramel-like topping. Do I actually recall such a product? Ken Torricelli
If you have any memorabilia, pictures or stories of Sandy's in Springfield, Illinois or elsewhere or the gooey treat that Ken is referring to, please email me!
