Useful on purpose

The answer, without the obstacle course.

Meadows Today is an independent public-data utility: no ads, no accounts, no analytics, and no pretending uncertain data is certain.

What it improves

The official Meadows site spreads location facts across individual franchise pages and publishes many flavor calendars as large images. That makes “what flavors are near me today?” a surprisingly manual question.

This site collects the public location index, finds each current calendar, turns verified daily entries into selectable text, and preserves a direct link to every source.

How the data moves

  1. The location importer reads the official WordPress location index and each public location page.
  2. Calendar images are detected by month and year. Stale and missing calendars stay labeled as stale or missing.
  3. A vision-assisted parser transcribes full monthly schedules, followed by deterministic checks for missing dates and duplicates.
  4. Today’s launch data received an additional manual image review. Its timestamp is shown with the results.

Boundaries

Meadows Today is not affiliated with or endorsed by The Meadows Original Frozen Custard. Franchise operators control their own hours, availability, and calendar publishing. A listed flavor can sell out or change after publication; call the shop when a trip depends on it.

We extract facts and link to the originals. We do not copy marketing descriptions, contact forms, tracking code, or customer data.

Portable by default

The complete normalized location bundle is available as ordinary JSON. Pages are static HTML with stable URLs and the core information remains readable without client-side JavaScript.
