Public profile metrics.
Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers was founded in Wichita, Kansas, in 2002 by brothers Bill and Randy Simon and their business partner Scott Redler. Named for the brothers’ father, Freddy Simon, the company manages a single restaurant concept built around cooked-to-order steakburgers and frozen custard. Almost all locations are franchised and operated by independent owners. The system extends across many U.S. states and into Canada, including Alberta and Manitoba. Freddy’s operates as a quick serve concept serving lunch and dinner. Cuisines include Burger and Ice Cream/Yogurt. A typical restaurant has about 60 seats and occupies approximately 1,500 square feet, although freestanding drive-through locations, end-cap sites and other configurations may use different footprints and seating plans.

RestaurantData’s selected history of Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers begins with a January 2003 development record in Wichita, Kansas. The trail shows early multi-state activity in 2008–2010, a concentrated development period in 2015–2017 and later research extending into 2026. The dotted continuation brings archived development records and retrospective opening-year research into one historical arc.
For sales teams and investors, these historical inflection points help identify markets for closer review, compare current activity with earlier development periods and place individual locations in the brand’s longer expansion arc.

Vector readout: Early development research documents multi-state activity in 2008–2010. The broader 2015–2017 history contains 160+ selected opening signals across 30+ states; the 2024–2026 window contains 90+ across 30+ states. These windows identify periods and markets to investigate alongside current development activity.
RestaurantData source trail: The selected archived development records draw on state filings, building permits and a newspaper report. Atlas by RestaurantData™ contributes retrospectively researched opening years. A research-period date and an opening-year attribute can differ for the same address.
Contact RestaurantData for full location and development histories.
Source: RestaurantData U.S. restaurant-location research. Headquarters and franchisee headquarters are excluded. The early window uses archived development records; later windows use combined development and opening-year research, counting each address once at its earliest dated evidence. Signal and state bands are rounded down. They do not represent complete opening totals, currently operating units or net growth.
The latest included development record is March Week 4, 2026. A development record may describe a planned restaurant. The six examples use their stated date basis; Wichita’s 2003 label is a research year. Location-file verification dates are not opening dates, and a historical record does not establish present operating status.
Source availability varies across jurisdictions and years. The wider research coverage in the dotted segment should be considered when comparing periods. Unresolved opening years are not used to assign opening dates; gaps do not by themselves establish a pause or contraction.
The six displayed restaurant examples were cross-checked against Google Maps on November 3, 2026 and showed operating listings. Their year labels identify historical research periods or researched opening years, separate from this status check.

The ownership hierarchy follows the entity structure from the bottom up, showing the profiled entity in relation to its parent organizations, including its ultimate parent. When the entity owns or operates concepts beneath it, up to three are displayed.
