One of the most-successful fast-casual restaurant chains ever to come out of The 6ix is moving on up this spring with the help of a big box retail giant.
Freshii—the ubiquitous wrap, salad, soup, bowl, burrito, yogurt, juice and snack joint that serves a good chunk of the city lunch every day—is coming to Walmart, but not in a McDonald's type of way.
The Toronto-born restaurant brand is gearing up to start selling fresh prepared "grab and go" food items at Walmart Canada grocery stores, starting with 100 locations in Ontario.
This marks the first major partnership with a supermarket for Freshii Inc., which has been growing exponentially since its founding in 2005 as "Lettuce Eatery."
The company's system-wide sales grew by 25 per cent in 2018, according to a newly-released fiscal report, boasting a total of $5.6 million in revenue across its roughly 370 locations worldwide.
By the end of April, it plans to have "feel-good, made-daily food options" stocked at all 100 of the initial Walmart Canada stores (in the fresh food section) as well as on Walmart.ca.

ReplyDeleteA couple of years back we came across a nutritious catering service, Culinary Capers, and quickly became enamoured with the variety and presentation of the delicious options available. Retrieving fond memories of Edamame Pestos, Wheat Berry Salads and a whole array of colours and textures perfectly in balance with flavour and nutrition, when we learned of the new development of a lunch box delivery solution added to the list of offerings, we called immediately to try them out.
Lunch Boxes
To begin we sample three lunch boxes, conveniently delivered to our doorstep with a quick order before 10 pm the day before. Greek Style Lamb Balls with Roasted Red Pepper Coulis is the first we try. OMG! It’s so delicious! A quartet of meatballs sits in a pond of rich pepper sauce. The meat and seasoning are perfectly balanced providing a complete experience in the mouth. A multigrain salad featuring couscous, wheat berries, pumpkin seeds and black sesame makes a substantial side and is presented bursts of juice and vibrancy with pomegranate, finely chopped capsicum and scallions. One of Culinary Capers’ popular dips comes in the lunch box too: this one is the edamame pesto. A hint of spice in the finish, it’s a great topping for the bag of thin lavosh crisps also accompanying the meal.
