WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBOURHOOD: FRESHII DOWNTOWNApril 26, 2024NewsI had the pleasure of chatting with Gerald Cote, the proprietor of the newly opened Freshii in downtown Squamish.
Freshii is a locally owned Canadian fast-casual restaurant franchise, offering healthier alternatives in the bustling landscape of fast food. With a menu featuring burritos, wraps, soups, salads, and a wide array of tasty smoothies, Freshii also prides itself on a unique breakfast selection paired with locally sourced organic coffee. Their mission is to provide fast, wholesome meal options for guests on the move.
When asked about the inspiration behind opening in downtown Squamish, Gerald highlighted the overwhelming feedback from Squamish residents and workers expressing their desire for a Freshii downtown. Coupled with an encouraging push from their brand leaders, it felt like the perfect opportunity to meet the community’s needs.
Gerald expressed a profound appreciation for the close-knit community of Squamish and the unwavering support they’ve received. The genuine camaraderie and encouragement from residents make owning a business in Squamish a rewarding experience.
Reflecting on his journey as a business owner, Gerald shared invaluable advice: “Never assume you have all the answers.” Emphasizing the importance of continuous learning and growth, he stressed the need to remain open-minded and progressive to achieve success, as a business mirrors the ethos of its owner.
Recalling a heartwarming moment, Gerald recounted the story of a team member who left to pursue a career in Toronto, only to return months later, drawn back by the strong bonds and positive culture of Freshii. The team rallied together to support her journey, epitomizing the power of fostering a nurturing environment that attracts exceptional individuals.
Gerald shared his fondness for various establishments in downtown Squamish, including Sunflower Cafe for its delicious donuts and hot chocolate, Unwind Clinic for chiropractic sessions with the amazing Amber Kirk, Pizzalicious for their superb donairs, and Kaos Kids for all the fun toys and games. He also mentioned supporting Pearl’s, attending the Downtown Farmer’s Market, and visiting Diamond Clinic for family medical needs.
In closing, Gerald expressed heartfelt gratitude to their guests and the community, acknowledging that without their support, the Freshii experience in Squamish wouldn’t be possible. Deeply thankful, he extended sincere appreciation to everyone involved in making their venture a success.
You can find Freshii Downtown at 38116 – 2nd Ave Squamish BC V8B 0C4 and also order online at https://freshii.com/
