Freshii Development Franchise
Freshii Development is a franchise for a fast food chain serving custom built fresh food.
It was founded in 2004 and started franchising in 2008. It was founded by Matthew Corin. The first location was opened in Toronto in 2005. When he started out his business, he was the store manager and he had to do everything on his own. This was when he realized that it was not complicated and all he had to do was work hard and do what has to be done. The first location was called “Lettuce”. On their first days, they kept running out of lettuce before lunch. He studied and made changes to make things efficient. He then started hiring members to help him maximize production. They now have five locations in the United States and six locations in Canada.
