Freddy's announces fall opening in new shopping center

Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers®, a fast-casual restaurant concept, recently started construction at a new shopping center on U.S. 15-501 and Murray Hill Road in Southern Pines. The new location is slated to open this fall, announced the burger joint on Tuesday.

“Southern Pines is a great next stop for our family-friendly restaurant,” said Dave Dreiling, franchise owner. “You’ll find that our team members truly enjoy putting in the extra effort to create a comfortable and welcoming environment with fast, friendly service and genuine hospitality. We hope to give guests a place to connect, reminisce and create their own treasured memories.”

The 2,831 square-foot, freestanding restaurant will seat 80 guests and will have additional seating on the patio. Drive-thru service will also be available. Freddy’s is known for its cooked-to-order steakburgers made with lean 100 percent ground beef, all-beef hot dogs, crispy shoestring fries and frozen custard treats made with freshly churned chocolate or vanilla frozen custard.

“US 15-501 has a steady flow of traffic through the area and is home to a wide variety of retail businesses and restaurants that make it a perfect fit for Freddy’s,” said Dreiling. “We’re thrilled to enter this dynamic area and bring delicious, cooked-to-order food to the surrounding businesses and residents.”
