Freshii offers healthy options in Innisfil

It’s no surprise Innisfil’s Freshii opened on Canada Day.

The Canadian-born franchise was opened by Matthew Corrin more than a decade ago and has now grown to more than 400 stores worldwide.

Innisfil location owner Tappinder Jhajj owns a store in Bolton and saw the opportunity to bring the chain to Alcona.

Freshii offers fresh salads, wraps, salad bowls, burritos and soups, along with fresh squeezed juice and smoothies.

“The concept is healthy fast food. There is no freezer in the back. Our carrots are carrots, not pre-packaged frozen ones.”

Everything starts out as a vegetarian dish and you can add your protein, whether it’s tofu, falafel, chicken or steak, Jhajj said.
