SEATTLE - Burger lovers, rejoice. Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers is bringing its fan-favorite, fast-casual concept to the Seattle area for the first time.
The Wichita-based chain has signed a 10-unit franchise deal with Puget Sound Bites, Inc., led by franchisees Imrit Chattrath and Jasdeep Singh. The Seattle expansion is part of Freddy’s aggressive growth strategy, with 21 new locations planned across five U.S. markets.
