Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers has signed a five-unit development agreement to bring the he fast-casual restaurant brand to the Philippines, marking its first such deal in Southeast Asia.
OMG Holdings OPC will lead the expansion, establishing a new foothold for Freddy’s as the group prepares to introduce the Wichita, Kansas-headquartered chain’s signature menu and hospitality-driven experience to consumers across the Philippines. The first outlet is expected to be open for business in 2027.
“Expanding Freddy’s into the Philippines is an exciting milestone and an important step forward in our broader international development strategy,” said CEO Andrew Thengvall. “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.”
The Philippines venture builds on Freddy’s growing international presence as it continues to pursue strategic development opportunities beyond the USA. With Asia representing an important area of focus heading into 2027, the franchise is seeking experienced operators that can leverage local market expertise alongside the brand’s established operating model to drive long-term growth.
Freddy’s has built a foundation around its commitment to quality fast food and hospitality, offering cooked-to-order steakburgers, shoestring fries, and frozen custard treats at more than 580 locations throughout the United States, Canada and Mexico.
