Popular fast-food burger chain to open first store in new market
Americans might be addicted to this fast-food burger chain's crispy, thin steakburgers, iconic shoestring seasoned fries, and frozen custards, but it's about to find out if it can outdo beloved foreign rivals. Since its inception in 2002, it has grown to over 550 locations across 36 states nationwide, with another 130+ locations in development for 2025 and 2026. Don't miss the move: Subscribe to TheStreet's free daily newsletter Although it has expanded its footprint immensely, the chain has signed many development deals over the last few years to reach 800 restaurants by 2026. Related: Starbucks faces huge new rival However, after many decades of serving its U.S. customers, it decided it was time to enter new markets. It accelerated its goal by signing three international development deals over the last few years. Image source: Shutterstock Freddy's Frozen Custard & Steakburgers sealed a Master Franchise and Development Agreement with franchisees Jim Werschler and Gregg Most of North 49 Frozen Custard and Steakburgers in 2022. It also partnered with the development group Steakburger North to bring the chain to Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The following year, Freddy's signed another development agreement with ZZA Hospitality to open five new restaurants in Alberta, Canada. Related: Another fast-food burger chain is quietly closing locations In 2024, the fast-food chain signed a deal with local franchisee John Hall and operating partner Turner Ethans of Steakburger North to open restaurants across Winnipeg over the next three years, with the first restaurant set to open in 2025. "The Winnipeg community has always been very enthusiastic to try new restaurant concepts, and we're ready to introduce Freddy's in a way that feels local and authentic, with our focus on amazing service," said Hall in a press release. Nearly three years later, the day has finally come. Freddy's announced it will open its first-ever restaurant in Winnipeg, Manitoba, on June 3 as part of its 2022 agreement with North 49 Frozen Custard and Steakburgers. International expansion plans look to be a trend among fast-food chains, and many aim for a summer deadline.

Yum! Brands' (YUM) Taco Bell is opening its first restaurant in Ireland this summer, and Chipotle (CMG) signed a development agreement to open its first-ever restaurant in Mexico in 2026. Freddy's has yet to provide any updates on future restaurant openings in Canada. Nonetheless, it created an Instagram account for the region and made a post expressing its excitement to welcome customers at the opening of its first-ever Canada restaurant location.

This Coffee and Espresso System Made Me a Morning Person. You Can Get It Free Now
I consider myself something of a coffee savant. You can't need coffee like Lorelai Gilmore and drink four to five cups a day without becoming a connoisseur. When I was in college, I bought coffee almost daily at the on-campus cafe. Whenever I travel, finding the best coffee house in that city is always my absolute top priority. Needless to say, I've had my fair share of coffee shop experiences -- but now I prefer to drink coffee at home. The main reason for this change is the L'Or Barista coffee and espresso system, which is currently free when you order $79 worth of coffee capsules. L'Or is running several other promotions on its coffee systems, so take advantage before these deals disappear this week. Plus, you can grab the L'Or system and frother bundle for $50 off in all colors. I bought my mom this system for Christmas and we've both become L'Or evangelists. With this deal, it's not a bad time to gift your caffeine-loving mom or dad (or yourself -- I won't judge) my all-time favorite coffee and espresso system. Hey, did you know? CNET Deals texts are free, easy and save you money. Why I love my L'Or Barista The Pumpkin Spice capsules are my go-to in the fall, but the iced coffee capsules are my favorite during the summer months. Macy Meyer/CNET Every morning, I wake up giddy to make my coffee. The Onyx Espresso capsules are my consistent go-to when I make my favorite salted maple iced lattes, which are perfect for warm, summer mornings, but I'm also a huge fan of the iced coffee capsules. Since I've perfected my morning caffeine routine with the L'Or Barista, I no longer feel any need to buy coffee out. In fact, I prefer making my coffee and espresso drinks at home since I can use my machine to tailor them to my mood on that given morning. I also love how quickly the machine heats up -- a flat 25 seconds to be exact. Nothing feels worse than waiting and waiting for a coffee machine to turn on, heat up and brew up a batch of java. Mere minutes can feel like an eternity when I'm exhausted and desperate for the energy that first cup of caffeine brings me. What comes with the system? The L'Or Barista is a single-serve machine that uses high-pressure brewing to make both coffee and espresso beverages at home. The system can brew six different sizes of hot or iced coffee, as well as espresso. The sleek machine, which is compact enough to fit on a kitchen counter, is a highlight, but the capsules are also an exciting treat. Since you'll need to spend $79 or more for a free system, you can opt to taste a variety of capsule flavors. I've tried the caramel, hazelnut and Le Tigre coffee capsules and numerous espresso options -- it's genuinely hard to pick a favorite. Why this makes a great gift At its discounted price tag (usually $199), the L'Or Barista would be a great gift for any coffee connoisseur in your life. In fact, my mom tried mine, became obsessed, and would subtly bring it up until I finally bought her one this past Christmas. The current sale would provide the perfect opportunity to get some key Father's Day or graduation shopping done (wink, wink). Basically, this system comes with everything you need for a complete at home barista experience, while taking any hassle out of the process. For more tips to feel like a master barista, explore our roundup of the best espresso machines. You should also read how to make great lattes at home on the cheap.
