Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers is bringing its signature blend of nostalgia and flavor to Beaufort, South Carolina. Set to open at the bustling Beaufort Station retail center by late 2026, this marks Freddy’s fourth location in the state and signals the brand’s continued expansion across the Southeast.
Why Beaufort Station?
Located at the intersection of Robert Smalls Parkway and Parris Island Gateway, Beaufort Station is a 209,250-square-foot shopping destination managed by Puccinelli Management. Since its launch in 2024, the center has attracted major national retailers, including Hobby Lobby, TJ Maxx, Ulta, PetSmart, and Bath & Body Works. Freddy’s joins this dynamic lineup, adding a fast-casual dining option that’s both family-friendly and crave-worthy.
The location is ideal for Freddy’s: high foot traffic, strong community presence, and proximity to residential neighborhoods and military families from nearby Parris Island. It’s a natural fit for a brand that thrives on hometown hospitality.
What Freddy’s Brings to Beaufort
Freddy’s is known for its cooked-to-order steakburgers, crispy shoestring fries, and rich frozen custard. The Beaufort Station location is expected to offer the full Freddy’s experience, including:

- Custard for a Cause nights supporting local nonprofits
Expect the Beaufort location to host events that bring families together and reinforce Freddy’s commitment to hometown values.
Strategic Growth in South Carolina
With locations already operating in Greenville, Columbia, and Charleston, Freddy’s expansion into Beaufort reflects a broader strategy to serve mid-sized markets with strong community ties. The brand’s growth in South Carolina mirrors its national momentum, with hundreds of locations across the U.S. and a proven model for franchise success.
