Freddy's Frozen Custard Aims To Open Naperville Location

NAPERVILLE, IL — The temperatures may be hovering close to zero, but that isn't stopping a frozen custard shop from setting its sights to serving up frosty treats (and steak burgers, chicken tenders and hot dogs) to Naperville residents.

Freddy's Frozen Custard and Steakburgers is proposing a location at 1967 Glacier Park Avenue, just off of Route 59. The plaza is already home to On the Border Mexican Grill and Cantina and Urban Air Trampoline and Adventure Park.

The Naperville eatery will feature a drive-thru and a 3,230-square foot dining room. Naperville's Planning and Zoning Commission was poised to review a petition Wednesday proposing a zoning variance to allow for off-street parking, according to city documents.

Founded in 2002 in Kansas, Freddy's Frozen Custard and Steakburgers now has more than 400 locations. In December, a Freddy's Frozen Custard opened in Romeoville to much fanfare.

The restaurant's menu features steak burger combos, patty melts, chili cheese dogs, chicken sandwiches and other handheld treats.

Dessert often takes center stage at Freddy's Frozen Custard, though, where diners can slurp a frozen hot chocolate shake, dig into a signature turtle sundae or sip a classic root beer float. Custard can also be ordered unadorned or topped with gummy worms, peanut butter cups, maraschino cherries and other goodies.
