Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers is accelerating expansion in the Midwest with the opening of seven locations spread throughout Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri and Minnesota, according to a company press release.

Over the past two months, Freddy's has brought new locations to Collinsville and Orland Park, Illinois; Ames and Dubuque, Iowa; Grand Rapids, Michigan; O'Fallon, Missouri and Lakeville, Minnesota. A location in Indianapolis, Indiana, is slated to open in early March. These openings have contributed to the 15 restaurants that have opened to date in 2018. The brand is continuing to target the Midwest for franchise expansion, with plans to develop approximately 50 additional locations over the next year.

"We continue to focus on the Midwest for franchise development because we've seen how well Freddy's has been received in the region," said Randy Simon, president and CEO. "The increase in demand for additional restaurants in markets where Freddy's has an existing presence is a true testament to the quality of food and service that we provide to our guests. With these new locations, we're able to bring our signature steakburgers, frozen custard treats and family friendly atmosphere to more communities throughout the Midwest and look forward to continuing our expansion in the area."

Franchise opportunities remain in areas across the U.S. specifically in the Midwest. Available territories includeMichigan, Minnesota, North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Indiana and Ohio.
