WICHITA, Kan. — Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers has signed its second development agreement led by Dan Arndt of ZZA Hospitality to debut five new Freddy’s restaurants in Alberta. This announcement follows the news of Freddy’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.
ZZA Hospitality currently operates several quick-service restaurant franchises and will be developing five new Freddy’s locations over the next five years. The brand opened more than 60 new locations in 2023 and aims to bring the Freddy’s footprint to more than 800 units by 2026.
“Bringing an iconic brand like Freddy’s into Canadian territories has been an exhilarating journey, and we feel thrilled to be closer to debuting our first franchise location in Alberta,” says Most.
“Our first franchise restaurants will be a testament to our commitment to sharing the joy of Freddy’s with the vibrant communities here,” says Arndt. “Freddy’s dedication to serving high-quality, cooked-to-order menu items and providing genuine hospitality will resonate with Canadian guests.”
