The Best Fudge Comes from Uranus!
When Mayor Louie Keen wanted to found his new empire, he started right at home in Missouri. They say misery loves company, but Louie knew that Missouri really loves a good joke—and even better fudge. So, he made a bold investment along historic Route 66 and opened the Uranus Fudge Factory on July 2, 2015.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get into Uranus from Interstate 44?
We’re super easy to slide into! Take I-44 to Exit 163 (the St. Robert/Waynesville exit), head south to Hwy Z/Historic Route 66, and take a right. You’ll see the glorious neon signs for Uranus in just about half a mile.
We’re visiting Fort Leonard Wood. How close is Uranus?
Uranus is practically in your backyard! We’re only a 10-minute drive from the Fort. Our fresh fudge and hilarious photo ops are the perfect way for troops, graduates, and their families to blow off some steam and have a good laugh.
Where exactly does Uranus sit on a Route 66 road trip?
Right in the sweet spot! Uranus sits squarely on Historic Route 66 in Pulaski County, roughly halfway between St. Louis and Springfield, MO. It’s the ultimate pitstop to stretch your legs, grab some grub, and explore Uranus.
What other Mother Road history is near Uranus?
There’s plenty to explore around our parts! Just down the road is the historic Devil’s Elbow bridge. As you cruise through the Ozarks, you can also check out the Route 66 Museum in Lebanon, the Cuba murals, Fanning’s giant rocking chair, and Meramec Caverns. But let’s be real; Uranus is the main event.
Is Uranus a real, incorporated town?
Uranus isn’t just a town; it’s a lifestyle! We are a massive entertainment destination located in Pulaski County. Mayor Louie Keen started building this roadside empire in 2015, and today, it’s the most visited, fudge-packed stop on the whole darn highway.
My RV is massive. Can I park it in Uranus?
Absolutely! Uranus is huge and can accommodate all sizes. Whether you’re pulling a giant trailer, driving a massive RV, or rolling up in a tour bus, our sprawling parking lot at 14400 Highway Z has plenty of room for you to pull in safely.
What else is there to do around Pulaski County after exploring Uranus?
Once you’ve sunk some balls at Putt Pirates and let our fudge packers load you up with treats, go get wet! Pulaski County is famous for gorgeous Ozark scenery, including floating, kayaking, and fishing on the beautiful Big Piney and Gasconade Rivers.
Is Uranus doing anything for the Route 66 Centennial in 2026?
You bet your sweet cheeks we are! 2026 is the 100th anniversary of Route 66. Because Uranus sits directly on the historic mother road in St. Robert, we are right in the thick of the biggest road trip party of the century.
What makes the original St. Robert Uranus so special?
While we love our Indiana outposts, St. Robert is the flagship Uranus. It’s where the magic started! It’s the only place you’ll find the Sideshow Museum, Putt Pirates mini-golf, the World’s Largest Belt Buckle, and the Funkyard playground all packed into one glorious destination.
Are there places to sleep and eat near Uranus?
Tons! Because St. Robert is a major hub for Fort Leonard Wood and I-44, there are dozens of hotels, motels, and restaurants just minutes from our back door. Book a room locally, grab a bite, and spend a whole afternoon enjoying everything Uranus has to offer!
