## Story

FRESH USA LLC brings a solid restaurant management team to the partnership. Hetzel and his wife, Cheryl Mothes, were drawn into the venture with the brand through their shared passion for supporting healthy lifestyles to help others thrive. They opened Missouri’s FRESH location in 2019, followed by a second in 2022.

Hetzel, a 30-year law enforcement career veteran, has spent the past two decades building successful businesses across the restaurant, real estate and sports industries. Mothes, who holds a PhD in holistic nutrition, is a former nurse and now serves as a financial advisor for a national company.

“FRESH Healthy Café is an incredible brand with a truly loyal following,” said Hetzel and Mothes in a joint statement.

Each establishment will showcase the restaurant’s signature menu of nutritious smoothies and fresh-squeezed juices along with hearty meal choices including protein bowls, wraps, salads, paninis, and soups.

“We are thrilled to partner with FRESH USA, LLC to bring our healthy and delicious food to more communities,” said Jeff Parker, President, and CEO of FRESH Healthy Café.
