Gregg Most said: “Bringing an iconic brand like Freddy’s into Canadian territories has been an exhilarating journey, and we feel thrilled to be closer to debuting our first franchise location in Alberta.

“It’s a pleasure to work with ZZA Hospitality as we realise our goal of expanding Freddy’s Canadian footprint.”
