Fresh City Charts New Ground With Multiple Franchising Ventures

Fresh City, an acclaimed fast-casual restaurant concept with 13 locations spanning New England, is pleased to announce the signing of multiple franchise development agreements that set the stage for the Massachusetts-based eatery's rapid expansion in New Jersey, Chicago, IL and Massachusetts. Fresh City's steadfast approach to their unique open-kitchen designed, fresh fusion concept is the driving force behind Fresh City's "Fresh Casual" break away from what is usual in the fast casual arena. An obsession for fresh food, fresh business perspectives, fresh service solutions and a new restaurant prototype launched in Warwick, RI in early December of 2004 have proven to be a winning formula, gaining the concept much attention throughout New England and, most recently, yielding increased momentum in the franchising world. FRESH CITY TAKES OFF Fresh City is also delighted to announce its recent opening of its first franchise development agreement with travel service giant, Creative Host Services, a division of Compass Group. In March, Creative Host Services opened Fresh City's 13th location at Boston's Logan International Airport's newest Delta Terminal, Terminal "A", providing travelers the same unique Fresh City cuisine that Bostonians have grown to love. It is the perfect blend of two corresponding philosophies," says Larry Reinstein, President & CEO of Fresh City Franchising, LLC.
