825 N. Germantown Parkway
Cordova, TN
Permit Amount: $850,000
Completion: February 2017
Owner: Tim Heeren
Tenant: Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers
Details: Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers, a fast-casual restaurant chain, is coming to the Memphis market. Franchise owner Tim Heeren recently applied for an $850,000 building permit at 825 N. Germantown Parkway in Cordova.
He plans to raze an existing Pizza Hut and build a 3,000-square-foot Freddy’s restaurant, the first in the Memphis market.
He’s aiming for construction to begin in November with a mid-February opening. The Cordova location will be the first of an eight- to 10-store expansion, Heeren said.
He has purchased a site in Olive Branch at Goodman Road and U.S. 78, and he is also eyeing sites in Millington, Collierville and Midtown.
The Cordova location will employ between 60 and 80 people.
“The closest one is probably St. Louis … so the Memphis market was untouched at this point, so that’s what attracted us. It’s a great market to come in with a fast-casual design,” he said.
