No matter how many locations they already have under their belt, America's biggest burger chains seem to never stop growing. McDonald's recently announced an ambitious goal to add around 10,000 additional restaurants to its system by the end of 2027,
Chris Dull, CEO of Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers, recently discussed the chain's aggressive growth pipeline in an interview with QSR Magazine.
These new openings are just a drop in the bucket of Freddy's long-term expansion goals.
Freddy's announced in January 2024 that it's aiming to have 800 restaurants in operation by 2026.
If Freddy's does manage to eventually surpass the 3,000-unit milestone, it could become one of the largest burger chains in America in terms of sheer size.
So where is Freddy's headed? While the chain hasn't fully detailed where its new openings will be located, it has offered some hints regarding the markets where it plans to expand.
In late January of this year, Freddy's announced that several of its existing franchisees had agreed to open more than 30 new stores in their corners of the country.
Another Freddy's expansion push announced via press release in January indicated that the chain will also open new locations in Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and Canada.
