## Story

This past February, Tina Nurmi Franceschina opened a Freshii in Royal Oak, Michigan. The fast-casual restaurant serves healthier options, including salads, soups, wraps, burritos and smoothies. Freshii was founded in 2005, and the brand has more than 100 locations across the globe.

**Franceschina:** My initial attraction was the design concept, the menu and the price. All of these made me eat there and then after eating my meal I was hooked.

**Franceschina:** The market I live in needed something exactly like Freshii. Plus there’s not much competition.

**Franceschina:** The website definitely helped because of its design, but it also showcased the green side of Freshii, philanthropy and also news coverage.

**Franceschina:** I attended HQ and went on a tour of different Freshii locations as well as speaking with the CEO and listening to current partners. I also connected with partners in my state to pick their brains.

**Franceschina:** I don’t have much downtime anymore to sit and watch the news, so I catch up on my apps.
