Freshii ranks as number 17 on Fast Casual's 2014 Top 100 Movers & Shakers.

Freshii is used to making headlines, whether they feature info about the chain’s growth or Founder Matthew Corrin’s unique business practices. The Canada-based chain, which opened in 2005, has 100 open stores and 60 more in construction across 40 cities in eight countries.

The brand’s recent press — including Corrin’s appearance on the CBS TV series “Undercover Boss,” along with features on The Food Network and in Fortune Magazine — is continuing to attract new franchise partners. One of those partners is Raddah Investments, which recently signed a deal to open 20 units throughout Saudi Arabia. Two Freshiis already are open in Dubai. “The day I opened the first Freshii location at age 23 was the first day I ever worked in the restaurant industry,” Corrin said. “We’ve worked hard as a team to create a compelling business model for the franchise industry and an innovative brand for our customers. As each year passes we continue to attract best-in-class partners, who divide and conquer in our quest to bring healthy fast food to the masses.”
