Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers Expands Nationally
Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers, a beloved name in the fast-casual dining scene, is taking strides to expand its reach across the United States. With the announcement of three new franchise agreements, Freddy’s is set to open 15 new locations in key markets: Nebraska, North Dakota, and Maryland. This marks a significant chapter in the brand's growth strategy, bringing their signature frozen custard and steakburgers to more communities.
Expanding Across Regions
The latest expansion initiative stems from partnerships with three devoted franchisees who are eager to deliver Freddy's unique dining experience to their local markets.
- - Omaha, Nebraska: The first of these agreements will see three new Freddy’s locations opened by TR Hospitality. These new spots will enhance the dining landscape in Douglas and Sarpy counties, ensuring that more locals can enjoy Freddy's classic offerings.
- - North Dakota: Experienced franchise owners Kyle and Vicki Sedivec are set to open seven Freddy's locations across North Dakota. Their commitment to the brand and its values reflects a strong market demand in the region, where families seek quality dining options.
- - Maryland: The expansion into Maryland will be a landmark moment as A2SI Group, LLC, fulfills a five-unit franchise deal. This initiative will introduce Freddy's for the first time to Prince George's County, offering local residents a new culinary destination.
A Commitment to Quality and Community
Andrew Thengvall, Chief Development Officer at Freddy's, expressed enthusiasm for the growth, highlighting that each new restaurant represents not just a location but a chance to build connections with the community. He stated, "These expansions are a testament to the strength of the Freddy's brand and the dedication of our franchisees who believe in our commitment to community, quality, and hospitality."
Freddy's is known for its unique menu featuring made-to-order steakburgers, crispy shoestring fries, and creamy frozen custard treats. The brand prides itself on delivering exceptional food and genuine hospitality, often referred to as operating 'The Freddy's Way.' This approach has positioned Freddy's as a go-to dining choice for families and individuals alike.
Growth and Recognition
In total, Freddy's operates more than 550 restaurants across 36 states, with an ambitious plan for over 130 more new locations slated for development in 2025 and 2026.
