Fast-casual burger chain Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers is slated to expand its footprint in Canada.
The chain recently signed a development agreement to debut five new Freddy’s restaurants in Alberta. The agreement is led by ZZA Hospitality, which currently operates several quick-service restaurant franchises in Canada.
“Bringing Freddy’s to Canada means serving delicious food and creating a memorable experience for families, friend, and lovers of great taste. Our first franchise restaurants will be a testament to our commitment to sharing the joy of Freddy’s with the vibrant communities here,” said Dan Arndt, Franchise Owner of ZZA Hospitality. “Freddy’s dedication to serving high-quality, cooked-to-order menu items and providing genuine hospitality will resonate with Canadian guests.”
The agreement to bring new Freddy’s restaurants to Alberta follows the chain’s signing of a master franchise and development agreement in Canada last November with veteran franchisees Jim Wershler and Gregg Most of North 49 Frozen Custard and Steakburgers.
The chain, which offers cooked-to-order steakburgers, shoestring fries, freshly churned frozen custard treats and more, opened more than 60 new locations in 2023. Freddy’s said it looks to maintain a “high level” of growth across the US and aims to bring the Freddy’s footprint to more than 800 units by 2026.
