Every city has a flavor. This franchise alignes it flawlessly. Dallas, Texas, loves big things – and Freddy's steakburgers are certainly big on flavor. It’s fast, fun, along with full of cash flow. The Texas heat practically demands Freddy's frozen custard, creating it a sweet escape for sun-drenched residents. You’re walking into a market that’s already warmed up. With a constant influx of craving cowboys and city slickers, you'll be slinging crispy goodness faster than you can say "yeehaw . It’s franchise fuel with real horsepower.
Thomas’s Take: Consultant’s Note
I reviewed Freddy’s’s FDD. Here’s why I like it as an choice in Uptown or Deep Ellum. The Item 19 in the FDD said: 50th percentile weekly gross receipts of $35,445 across franchised restaurants. Dallas’s Uptown needs a Freddy’s franchise to satisfy growing appetite for premium burgers and frozen custard.
