History[edit]

Freddy's was founded by restaurateur Scott Redler and two brothers, Bill and Randy Simon, whose father, Freddy Simon was the inspiration for the restaurant,[7] and its namesake. Freddy was a World War II Veteran who lived in Wichita, Kansas.

The company, founded in Wichita in 2002, opened its first franchise in Hutchinson, Kansas, in December 2004. In April 2011, the company opened its 50th store in Victorville, California, and in October 2013 its 100th store in Bowling Green, Kentucky.

Co-founder and one of the sons of Freddy Simon, Bill Simon, died at age 61 on December 17, 2016, after a battle with cancer.[11]

Frederick “Freddy” L. Simon, co-founder and namesake of Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers died on October 25, 2020, at the age of 95.[12]

In March 2021, private equity firm Thompson Street Capital Partner purchased Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers in an undisclosed deal.[13]

What is Freddy's custard made of?

Our custard has more eggs and a minimum of 10% butter fat. It's churned in a special machine that reduces air bubbles and ice crystals, creating a texture denser than that of traditional ice cream or soft serve. The result is a rich and creamy treat for everyone to enjoy!

What is the difference between a custard and a concrete at Freddy's?

Any mix of custard and toppings can be made into a sundae or a concrete. It all depends on how you'd like it served! Sundaes come in a dish and have custard on the bottom with toppings piled on top. Concretes come in cups and are blended, mixing your toppings into your custard.

How old is Freddy from Freddy's frozen custard?

Frederick “Freddy” Simon, the smiling namesake and face of the Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers chain and a World War II Purple Heart recipient, died on Sunday morning, the company confirmed on Monday. He was 95.

Are Freddy's shakes made with custard?

Made with frozen custard, not ice cream Well first, our concrete starts with our delicious, freshly churned every day in our restaurants, vanilla frozen custard – it's seriously so creamy and smooth (much denser than ice cream).
