Toronto / No. of units: 60
Freshii CEO and founder Matthew Corrin is on a mission to promote green business practices and healthy, responsible eating. Evidence of this philosophy can be found in every aspect of the concept’s operation, from small planet-friendly stores — some as small as 150 square feet — equipped with energy-saving appliances to the use of organically grown menu options sourced from local farmers. In 2010, the company opened locations in San Francisco and New York City, among others, and opened its first international locations in Dubai and Vienna.
