## Story

Freddy’s announced today the signing of several multi-unit development agreements. The growth will be led by seasoned franchisees in Freddy’s existing system, bringing more than 30 new restaurants to markets within New Mexico, Texas, Idaho, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Arizona.

“Our operators have remained dedicated to our brand values, which has directly translated to a heightened guest experience in each community they serve. We are proud to have these groups as part of our network and couldn’t be more excited to further our partnerships with them,” said Andrew Thengvall, Chief Development Officer at Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers.

The Freddy’s franchisees who have recently reinvested in the brand to grow their portfolios include:

- **ERC Hospitality** currently operates 34 Freddy’s locations and is set to build 13 new stores across New Mexico and El Paso, Texas.

- **EMS Management** has committed to the development of nine new Freddy’s locations across multiple counties in Idaho, Oregon, and Utah.

- **TR Hospitality** has signed an agreement to build three new Freddy’s locations between Longview, Tyler, and Lindale, Texas. This will be the group’s second Tyler-based location.

- **Ram-Z** owns and operates nine locations in Oklahoma and Texas, alongside a non-traditional establishment on a university campus. The company, with 13 units already in development, has now signed for five new units that will be built across Oklahoma and Northwest Arkansas.

- Building on the success of their two existing locations in Missouri, **Meyer & Lovinger Restaurant Partners** are poised to open another Freddy’s location in Neosho, Missouri.

- With 13 operating locations in Arizona and five currently in development, **Jaytoo** has committed to opening three additional Freddy’s locations within the state.
