Burger king Fred's Texas Cafe to open first location outside Fort Worth
Fort Worth burger king Fred's Texas Cafe is opening a new location — its first outside Fort Worth, in the heart of downtown Crowley.
According to a release, the iconic restaurant will open a new 4,800-sq-ft restaurant at 100 S Texas St. at the corner of Main Street, with a due date in spring 2025.
The Crowley location will be the first to venture beyond Fort Worth city limits since its beginnings on Currie Street in 1978.
They'll bring their signature cowboy cuisine, burgers, and ice-cold beer on tap to Crowley where they've been working with the city to make the new establishment a reality.
There's even a quote from the mayor.
"We are excited to announce the newest addition to Main Street in Crowley – Fred's Texas Cafe! Known for its award-winning cuisine and ice-cold drinks, Fred's is set to become a beloved spot for families and visitors alike, says Crowley Mayor Billy Davis. “We look forward to forging a strong and lasting relationship with Fred's as they become integral to the new Crowley Main Street."
Fred’s Texas Cafe co-owner and operating partner Quincy Wallace says in a statement that it's not just about opening a new location, it's about becoming a part of a new community.
"Crowley's rich community and rapid growth make it the perfect fit for our first location outside of Fort Worth," Wallace says. "It's a city that truly embodies the essence of Texas hospitality and community spirit that Fred's is all about. We look forward to becoming an integral part of the local community, making new friends, and helping the city prosper."
Wallace says that expanding to other cities is part of Fred's mission.
"It has always been in the cards to take the Fred's Texas Cafe to other Texas neighborhoods," he says. "It's an exciting time, and we're really looking forward to growing the Fred's brand in the next few years and sharing the Fred's style with new diners and friends. I always tell our patrons, tell me where you want us or where we need to be, and we'll find our way there!"
