Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers announced that its co-founder, Scott Redler, has been appointed to the new role of Chief Experience Officer (CXO). In 2002, Redler co-founded Freddy’s alongside business partners, Bill and Randy Simon, according to a company statement. With 45 years of industry experience, Redler spent the last 19 years serving as COO of Freddy’s. The creation of this new role for the industry-leading fast-casual franchise follows its recent acquisition by private equity firm Thompson Street Capital Partners in March of 2021.
“In light of our continued surge in franchise growth and ongoing success systemwide, this new role falls naturally into the progression of the company,” said Scott Redler, co-founder and CXO. “I look forward to strengthening franchisee relationships, continuing our unique culture and doing things ‘The Freddy’s Way’ by delivering an exceptional brand experience to our guests.”
Redler has been instrumental in developing over 20 different concepts. His vast knowledge of all facets of restaurant operations has made him a sought-out professional in the industry. He currently serves as treasurer of the National Restaurant Association’s Board of Directors and the recipient of many honors, including the 2020 IFMA Silver Plate Award, the statement reads.
