FRESH - Healthy Cafe - Franchise
Fresh Healthy Café is national brand with stores across the US and Canada. Unlike many of our competitors, we target and open in only the best of the best locations. We are an innovator and leader in the booming healthy fast-casual food industry. Today’s customer has an insatiable, growing appetite for nutritious, delicious food and drinks, unlike the unhealthy fare offered by other quick-service food franchises. We are perfectly positioned to meet this demand, providing our guests with an extraordinary health experience unlike any they’ve ever tasted. We can confidently claim that our menu is unlike anything else offered in the industry. Our competitors are focused on either juice and smoothies or healthy food, but never both. At FRESH we have combined pure smoothies and freshly squeezed juices with a full line of incredible tasty and healthy wraps, paninis, protein bowls, salads and soups. Absolutely perfect! Whether you’re looking for a hearty or light healthy meal or mid-afternoon smoothie or fresh juice, FRESH has nailed them. Every item on our menu is as good for the body as it is for the taste buds. All our food and beverages are made fresh to order right in front of your eyes, using only natural ingredients of the highest quality.

Unit Franchises and Master Franchises (Area Developer) opportunities available across the US and International:
- Unit Franchises - The franchisee pays a one-time franchise fee and opens a single outlet, with options on additional locations within the market and region.
- Master Franchise - Area Development: this gives the Master Franchisee exclusive rights to their region to develop FRESH locations by owning their own stores as well as awarding franchised locations. Master Franchise has revenue from initial franchise fee as well as on-going royalties. FRESH locations are in high profile, high traffic street front, mall and airport locations.
Franchisees can enjoy a juicy return on investment because the healthy fast-casual food industry is extremely viable, relatively simple, requires low investment, and offers very affordable products. Many markets are seriously under-served by this booming industry. The time is ripe for FRESH.

Your success as a franchise partner is FRESH Restaurants’ goal. Our expert support team is dedicated to ensuring your business is personally and financially rewarding.
"My brother and I decided to look for a franchis-ing opportunity that would allow us to showcase our more than 20 years of business experience while not tying our hands to extremely rigid cor-porate guidelines. After reviewing many fran-chise opportunities, we found FRESH - Healthy Café. FRESH fit our requirements from day one! We immediately connected with the FRESH Cor-porate staff and felt as though we were business partners rather than remote franchisees. The menu is fantastic with broad appeal and sales continue to grow!"Mike and Bob Gourlay
"I have been involved with FRESH for three years now. I have three restaurants in my region and two more coming up this year. It turned to be a very profitable opportunity for my family, and at the same time "spreading health around"!! FRESH certainly is a pioneer in this industry. Our menu is by far the most balanced and healthy that I’ve seen and people are very appreciative of it. FRESH stays on top of all new and healthy trends and is growing rapidly around the world." Al Krasel
"Within weeks we will be expanding into the next 905 sq ft bay, adding another 42 seats…Being creative and showing people that eating healthy can work and tastes great, we will be taking a larger portion of the fast food market."Brad Bunting
