LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Nebraska’s capital city is seeing a boom in chain restaurants.
Work began this week on a Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers. Franchise owner Ron Oberg says it will be a new concept store that likely will be the biggest Freddy’s restaurant in the country, with seating for more than 150 people and a double drive-thru lane.
He hopes to have the restaurant open by the first or second week of November.
It’s one a string of restaurants either being built or recently opened in Lincoln. That includes Las Vegas-based sandwich chain Capriotti’s, Chick-fil-A, BurgerFi, Dunkin’ Donuts, Slim Chickens and Tom+Chee. Several other restaurants already established in the college town are expanding.
