Freddy's Frozen Custard Now Open in Bradenton

Hungry for a juicy steakburger or a frozen dessert?

If so, you're in luck: Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers is now open in Bradenton.

The Kansas-based chain officially opens for business Tuesday, April 23, at the former Arby's, 7376 52nd Place East, off State Road 70 in the Creekwood Crossing shopping center. It's the first Freddy's to open in Florida, and management said it hopes it's the first of many more in the area as the franchise expands.

The restaurant hosted friends and family of employees Monday for training sessions and a dry run. In all, Freddy's expects to employ about 70 people, manager Brian Jardin said Monday.

Diners will be able to choose from menu items such as steakburgers, hot dogs and Philly cheesesteaks. The frozen custard comes in chocolate or vanilla flavor and is combined with hot fudge, brownies, carmel or fruits in a frozen treat called a "concrete."

Customers in Bradenton can also expect to see the Freddy's family get involved in local charity efforts, Jardin said.

"We want to make sure we help the community out, whether it's fundraisers, or whatever," Jardin said. "We want to be good neighbors."
