Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers may be coming to Middlesex County
NORTH BRUNSWICK – A fast-food chain known for its cooked-to-order steakburgers and frozen custard may be setting up shop in the township.
The Commerce Center has applied to the township Planning Board for preliminary and final major site plan approval with variances to bring a Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers to 2399 and 2421-2451 Route 1, according to documents filed with the township.
The applicant wants to develop the property with an approximately 2,799-square-foot Freddy's restaurant with a drive-thru along with an approximately 5,336-square-foot commercial pad for restaurant use, together with related site improvements, the documents say. The other existing uses on the property will remain.
The property includes a shopping center, Regal theater and parking in the township's Transitional Mixed Use (TMU) Zoning District.
The applicant is seeking bulk variance relief for side yard setback where 10 feet is required and 1.5 feet proposed, and for loading space where one is required but none is proposed.

A public hearing on the application is scheduled for the 7:30 p.m. Feb. 13 Planning Board meeting.
