According to a story from Daily Report, a Kansas-based chain is one step closer to opening its first Louisiana restaurant.
A development group with Freddy’s Frozen Custard & Steakburgers purchased the former Arby’s at 6464 Siegen Lane for $1.3 million.
The group behind the restaurant initially filed a permit with the city-parish in February to renovate the former Arby’s building. Two weeks ago, the same limited liability company finalized the purchase of the building.

While the developers now have the building in hand, they don’t appear anxious to discuss details or a timeline for opening the Baton Rouge restaurant.

A PEZ movie is in the works
Today in “this headline isn’t a joke,” the candy company PEZ has entered into an exclusive agreement with Envision Media Arts (EMA) to develop an animated feature based on the popular dispensers. Screenwriter Cameron Fay (The Three Stooges Movie) will script the film, according to a story from Deadline Hollywood. The candy was created almost 90 years ago in Austria and is now available in more than 80 countries.
EMA CEO and founder Lee Nelson says the film will be unique and its story “will touch the hearts of many.” There is no release date set for the film.
