'Freshii,' the Toronto-based QSR chain famous for its healthy salad and rice bowls, has announced plans to expand its chain to an array of Freshii franchisees across North America. Freshii was met with success following each of its previous expansions across the globe, leading to the brand's conclusion that "eating healthier is not a fad." Based on this conclusion, Freshii is seeking single-unit and multi-unit franchisees to open more of its store locations across North American countries.
Freshii has an ever-changing menu that consistently provides even devout customers with new and fresh options to eat healthily. Freshii wants to ensure everyone in North America has access to these high-quality, healthy foods, so the brand is looking specifically to expand to cities it does not have a presence in, as well as rural areas that have a demand. The cost for aspiring franchisees to open a Freshii location ranges from roughly $175,500 USD to $581,000 USD.
