Freddy’s ® Announces First Southeast Asia Development Agreement with Five-Unit Deal in the Philippines

OMG Holdings OPC will lead the expansion, establishing a new foothold for Freddy’s as the brand expands its international presence. Through the five-unit agreement, the group will introduce Freddy’s signature menu and hospitality-driven experience to consumers in the Philippines, with the first restaurant anticipated to open in 2027.

“Expanding Freddy’s into the Philippines is an exciting milestone for our brand and an important step forward in our broader international development strategy,” said Andrew Thengvall, Chief Development Officer of Freddy’s. “As we look to build our presence across international markets, aligning with experienced operators who understand their local consumers and have a proven track record of growing global brands is essential. We believe OMG Holdings is well positioned to introduce Freddy’s to the Philippines and build a strong foundation for the brand in the market.”
