While working in public relations in New York City for designer Oscar de la Renta, Matthew noted the many fresh food bars and was determined to successfully brand one. In 2005, at the age of 23, founder and CEO Matthew Corrin, a Canadian native, opened the first Freshii location in Toronto and immediately won the prestigious ARC award for National Innovative Retail Concept of the Year and earned Freshii the title of Best New Retail Concept in Canada. Two years later, Freshii was named the 22nd Fastest Growing Company in Canada. In 2008, U.S.-based QSR magazine dubbed Freshii “One to Watch.” Since then, Matthew has been named to the 2010 Canadian Top 40 under 40 and Inc.’s 2011 30 under 30. Matthew lives between Chicago and Toronto with his wife, two daughters, and dog.
