Northern Ireland’s first Freshii store to open
Healthy eating fast food restaurant chain Freshii is opening its first Northern Ireland outlet in Belfast on Thursday March 2 creating ten full and part-time jobs.
Located at 1 Donegall Square West in Belfast city centre, Freshii will offer a diverse menu including tossed salads, hot bowls, burritos, healthy wraps, soups, fresh pressed juices, smoothies and frozen yogurt.
Freshii said its meal choices are based on fibre-rich, slow-burning carbs, essential fats and lean proteins.
The US chain was first brought to the Republic Ireland in 2015 by master franchise holders Dave O’Donoghue and Cormac Manning.
Speaking about the NI opening, Dave said the company is on track to open 40-50 stores within five years.
“We are really excited about bringing Freshii to Northern Ireland – we want to energise people in the north and satisfy the consumer demand for healthy and fresh food at affordable prices”, he said.
Freshii also caters for special dietary and taste preferences including paleo, vegetarian, vegan, gluten free, dairy free and wheat free.
The company said its core mission is to help people all over the world live healthier and better lives by making nutritious food convenient and affordable.
Since opening its first store in 2005 in the US, Freshii has grown to over 300 stores located across 85 cities in 20 countries.
Freshii opened its first Irish store in Dublin’s CHQ Building, later opening further outlets in the M1 Applegreen at Lusk, Enfield West Applegreen, Mespil Road in Dublin 4, Arnott’s Store in Dublin 1, and Trinity College Dublin.
