Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers — a popular fast food chain with locations across the country — has closed a Kansas City location.

The Martin City spot at 13628 Washington St. closed Feb. 26, according to signs posted around the restaurant.

The restaurant was owned by franchise M&M Custard LLC, an Overland Park-based company that filed for bankruptcy in November. It owns dozens of locations in Illinois, Missouri, Kansas, Kentucky and beyond

Its other KC-area location, 632 E. Main St. in Gardner, remains open. In a statement to The Star, Freddy’s explained that the decision to close was made solely by the franchisee.

“We’re grateful for the community’s support and for the dedicated team members who served them,” the company wrote in its statement. “There have been no other Kansas City area closures, and we do not foresee any in the future. “

M&M Custard could not be reached about the recent closure.

Freddy’s was first opened in Wichita in 2002 by brothers Bill and Randy Simon, along with business partner Scott Redler. The Simon brothers named the restaurant after their father, Freddy.

Today, the restaurant has more than 500 locations.

Some spots in the metro include 10690 Roe Ave. in Overland Park, 5150 N. Oak Trafficway, 7301 W. 135th St. in Overland Park, and 19007 E. 39th St. S in Independence.
