Fast-casual restaurant concept Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers has opened its newest franchised location at 810 W Edgar Rd. in Linden, New Jersey. The Linden restaurant marks the concept’s first location in New Jersey and entrance into its 34th state.
“We are delighted to have Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers here in Linden. I passionately believe there’s no better place to be than here,” said City of Linden Mayor Derek Armstead, who celebrated the restaurant’s ribbon cutting ceremony.
The Linden restaurant is owned and operated by Ethan Coleman, franchise owner of New Jersey Steakburgers LLC. Prior to franchising, Coleman developed properties for a New York City-based real estate company for over a decade. He has signed a franchise agreement with the brand in 2020 to develop dozens of Freddy’s restaurants in markets across Northern New Jersey over the next several years.
“I learned about Freddy’s through a news article years ago and always wanted to try it but there were no nearby locations. While traveling to Florida, I finally had the opportunity to visit a restaurant and was blown away by the quality of food and warm hospitality that Freddy’s is known for. Fast forward to today, I’m incredibly excited to be introducing such an amazing brand to New Jersey and can’t wait for the community to experience The Freddy’s Way for themselves,” said Ethan Coleman. “The City of Linden has been extremely welcoming, and I believe this is the perfect location for the state’s first Freddy’s.”
