Summary

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.

Freddy’s selected historical restaurant-location evidence, 2003–2026One illustrative research arc begins with the January 2003 restaurant-location development record. The solid archived development trail ends at the 2014 handoff; a dotted continuation includes ongoing development records and retrospective opening-year research through 2026. The handoff is a display convention and does not indicate that in-house research stopped. Overlapping addresses are deduplicated. Circles mark annual positions.

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 Restaurant Enterprise Index focuses primarily on companies with a substantial role in restaurant operations. Investment firms, financial sponsors, and other ownership partners are generally not included unless they also play a meaningful operating role; an otherwise qualifying entity may also be omitted when sufficient reliable information is unavailable.

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.

Verify Our Data Methodology

  • Foundation: Active state business registries form the primary backbone of every record.
  • Sources: Publicly available filings throughout, including public Franchise Disclosure Documents (FDDs).
  • Integrity: Zero proprietary third-party databases utilized.
  • Verification: Entity/concept records are validated at the source by our in-house research team.

Leveraging Human-Verified Connections

  • Collection: Filings and public records are gathered through intake procedures.
  • Verification: In-house researchers review every record before it enters the database.
  • Ownership Chain: Where relationships can be established, researchers work upward from a concept headquarters or single concept through parent, grandparent, and ultimate parent, resolving operators into one connected structure.

Maintaining the Longitudinal Record

  • Duration: Continuous tracking since 1997. Twenty-nine years of unit-level history.
  • Method: Same methodology applied across the full period so year-over-year comparisons hold.
  • Change Tracking: Openings, closures, ownership transfers, and operator consolidation are recorded as they occur, not backfilled.
  • Result: Expansion and contraction trends visible over decades, not snapshots.
