Freshii partners with Aramark to fuel expansion in Ireland and the UK

Aramark, the global food, facilities and property services provider, has announced a new partnership in Ireland with Freshii, a global leader in the health-casual restaurant category.

The deal will see Aramark fuel Freshii’s expansion in Ireland and the UK opening a number of new Freshii outlets at locations including Arnott’s Department Store and Trinity College Dublin.

These initial outlets will be followed by a further 10 Aramark-led locations, creating 100 full time and part time jobs.

Freshii is a health-casual restaurant brand that serves fresh food designed to energize people on the go. The menu includes breakfast, soups, salads, wraps, bowls, burritos, frozen yogurt, juices and smoothies served in an eco-friendly environment.

Aramark and Freshii carefully selected the Arnotts and Trinity College locations as the two prominent landmarks which will help build awareness of the brand.

Freshii Ireland Master Franchise Holders Dave O’Donoghue said: “With a large footprint around the world, Aramark only places their trust in brands they believe in and have shared values with. We at Freshii are thrilled to be able to fulfil our mission of eliminating the excuse that people cannot eat healthy here by expanding quickly across the country with Aramark."

Frank Gleeson, Aramark’s MD for Northern Europe said: "Freshii is a great addition to our offering and we plan to introduce the brand to our business across Ireland and the UK, as it fits the demand for healthy and fresh food that consumers want today."

The Aramark-led Freshii outlets at Trinity College and Arnotts will be Freshii’s fifth and sixth locations in Ireland. Freshii will be in the CHQ Building, Lusk Applegreen, Enfield West Applegreen and on Mespil Road.
