WICHITA,
Kan., Sept. 10, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Fast-casual
restaurant concept Freddy's Frozen Custard &
Steakburgers® (Freddy's) is spreading its roots in a number
of key markets across the country with four separate development
deals that will build the brand's presence across Washington, Illinois, Iowa, New
Jersey, and Texas. These
deals are being individually spearheaded by a mix of both current
and new Freddy's franchisees and will add a total of 21 restaurant
locations to the franchise system.
Among these deals, Freddy's is planning its first restaurants in
Washington State, coming at the
hands of Imrit Chattrath and Jasdeep
Singh of Puget Sound Bites, Inc., who signed a 10-unit
development agreement for the Seattle market. While in the Midwest,
Mike and Steven Young – the
father/son team behind MLY Investments – have signed on to
introduce three new restaurant venues in Rock Island and Knox
County, Illinois, as well as Des
Moines, Iowa. The deal adds to their already extensive
portfolio of 10 open locations between Iowa and Illinois, with another 15 in development
across the Midwest.
"Our new journey with Freddy's has been driven by a deep belief
in the brand's values and premium quality menu items," said Imrit
Chattrath. "Their commitment to excellence solidified our decision
to invest with them. We're eager to deliver that exceptional
Freddy's dining experience to all the guests in our new
markets."
Additionally, the Freddy's team awarded a franchise license to
Peter Labib, who plans to bring four
locations to Monmouth County, New
Jersey. Frank Fayyaz of ARF
Restaurants, LLC, also secured a development deal for another 4
locations around Austin,
Texas.
"There's no greater testament to the value of Freddy's franchise
opportunity and the unique dining experience we bring guests across
the country than the continued investment that our existing
franchisees make in the brand," said Andrew
Thengvall, Chief Development Officer. "We are enthusiastic
about our future expansion and the chance to introduce Freddy's to
more communities with the help of both new and seasoned
franchisees."
Freddy's has over 530 restaurants in 36 states, with another
130+ locations in development for 2024 and 2025. For information on
