## Story

Making health and freshness work is not always easy, but Coolgreens has managed to make it work throughout their seven Oklahoma-city based locations. Fast Casual reporter Shelly Whitehead connected with Coolgreens CEO Robert Lee to hear more about the brand and it's focus on freshness.

"Our goal is to be an active part of the community, inspiring people to build healthful lifestyles. If we can make a positive change, even with a handful of people, then we are achieving our goals," Lee told the reporter.

Beyond community involvement, Lee elaborates on how he keeps the food fresh.

"We aren't serving dry goods out of cans and boxes with long shelf life. With eight years of operation, we've certainly had to overcome challenges along the way and I'm sure there will be more in the future," said Lee.
