Detroit Lakes, Minn. (KDLM) – The owners of Fresh Freeze in Wadena have decided to step away from their beloved restaurant after 24 years and will be turning over the celebrated hamburger and ice cream stand to a new family.
In a social media post, current owners Dawn and Brett Lundgren stated they grateful for the amazing amount of community support they have received over the years and loved the fact the removal of the restaurant’s winter boards in February was the unofficial start of spring in Wadena.
Dawn Lundgren said they have continued, the now 64-year tradition of, making hamburgers the same way as they were taught by the previous owners, who were taught by the owners before that, who were taught by the owners before them.
The Lundgren’s will add their names next to the Breuer’s, Williams’ and Bauman’s, as previous owners of the dining spot.
As of Monday, Bob and Leanne Kingsley, along with their sons, Wyatt and Jesse, will take over operations of Fresh Freeze.
Dawn said she expects the transition to be smooth since the family had already been training and working in the business in the lead up to the transition date.
Lundgren also said, quote: “I feel [Leanne and Bob] will be great operators and will be able to give Fresh Freeze the TLC that it needs and deserves.”
Fresh Freeze is located at: 303 Jefferson Street in Wadena and more information can be found on the restaurant’s Facebook page.
