<\/p>\nThe city is reviewing a permit application for Cook Out to renovate the closed Freddy\u2019s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers on Beach Boulevard at an estimated project cost of $500,000.<\/p>\n
The North Carolina-based privately owned fast-food chain sells burgers, barbecue and shakes.<\/p>\n
The almost 1-acre site is at 14016 Beach Blvd., east of Hodges Boulevard in the Beach Haven area. Duval County Property Appraiser records show the 3,355-square-foot restaurant was built in 2015.<\/p>\n
FVR Florida LLC sold the Freddy\u2019s property to Cook Out-Beach Blvd Inc. for $2.75 million on May 5, 2025. The deed was recorded May 9 with the Duval County Clerk of Court.<\/p>\n
It is the first location in Jacksonville and could be one of the first Cook Out locations in the state.\u00a0<\/p>\n
