Fast-casual restaurant concept Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers is continuing its expansion, adding 57 new locations in Texas to its development pipeline. The stores are set to be built throughout the state in markets that include Dallas/Fort Worth and several counties in both East and West Texas. This announcement comes on the heels of the brand’s debut in North and South Dakota and adds to the development success attained since the beginning of the year.
“Our 63 operating locations in Texas have continued to perform exceptionally well, and we have witnessed firsthand how Freddy’s resonates with the local communities across the state. This proven success has attracted best-in-class franchisees to join our network, and we couldn’t be more excited,” said Andrew Thengvall, chief development officer at Freddy’s. “These strong operators deeply understand their territories and share our commitment to bringing Freddy’s craveable menu to the people of Texas.”
To accelerate development in Texas, Freddy’s is partnering with the following franchisees: BSPub Holdings LLC, which will develop five location locations in the state; Outlaw Management, developing three new Freddy’s; Lone Star Custard, opening an additional 30 locations; Ram-Z Restaurant Group LLC, which has committed to 15 new Freddy’s locations; Big Country Custard, which is now set to bring four new restaurants to Texas and AOM LLC, which signed a development agreement to open two stores in Texas and additional units in Louisiana.
Freddy’s has added 80 new units to its development pipeline since the start of 2022, and plans to double its footprint within the next four years, bringing the total unit count to 800 by 2026.
