Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers has signed four multi-unit agreements with new and existing operators to bring more than a dozen restaurants to New Jersey, Texas, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee and South Dakota. Year-to-date, Freddy's has executed 13 multi-unit agreements adding nearly 70 restaurants to the brand's overall development pipeline, according to a company press release.
This surge in franchise development is a reflection of the brand's aggressive growth strategy and will continue to accelerate expansion over the next couple of years, CDO Andrew Thengvall said in a company press release. With additional openings slated to take place through the end of Q4, the brand is on track to open over 35 locations this year.
"Freddy's commitment to the success of our Franchise Owners coupled with our devotion to creating an unforgettable Guest experience has helped us become a leading franchise opportunity for experienced developers looking to diversify their portfolio," he said. "It's been an exciting time to be part of this brand, and we're looking forward to working with these four groups to further grow our presence in key markets and build upon the momentum we've experienced recently. 2021 has been a remarkable year for Freddy's, and our continued multi-unit development success is a true testament to the wealth of potential of our franchise opportunity."
Four franchise groups have signed multi-unit deals to develop 15 restaurants across six states. The groups spearheading this development and their growth plans include:
"As multi-unit operators since 1990, we've learned what key differentiators to look for when expanding into new areas of the foodservice industry. Freddy's offers a unique combination of craveable food and genuine hospitality, and the business model continues to excel compared to competitors within its space — not to mention the brand's impressive AUV," Graziano said in the release. "The decision to add Freddy's to our portfolio was simple, and we fully believe there's no better time than now to be part of the brand's monumental period of growth while further expanding its presence in New Jersey."
Franchise opportunities remain in areas across the U.S., including the Northeast, upper Midwest, California, Florida, Oregon and Washington as well as large metro areas such as Pittsburgh and many of its surrounding markets.
Freddy's has over 400 locations across 34 states nationwide.
