Buying a Freshii franchise in Canada

Buying an existing Freshii

The Freshii page we read does not say whether the franchisor sells or brokers existing restaurants, so it is not a source for how a resale works. A buyer taking over a Freshii location from a current franchisee should read the transfer terms in that franchisee’s agreement: ask the seller for it, and ask the franchisor what it requires. See who has to approve a franchise resale and what a transfer fee is.

Training and opening

The page we read on Oct 22, 2026 publishes no training programme and no duration, so this page states none. It does list site conditions for a new franchisee: a trade area of at least 50,000 population, 900 to 1,500 square feet with a patio, high traffic counts and ample parking, as either a new build or a retrofit. Whether a resale buyer must be trained is a question for the franchisor — does buying a resale require retraining?

Financing

The Freshii page names no lender and no financing programme. Can a franchise purchase be financed? covers the routes it describes — the Canada Small Business Financing Program, BDC, a conventional lender and a vendor take-back.

Where Freshii is expanding

The page says only “Locations across Canada”; it publishes no list of available areas. Deavo’s Freshii listings on Oct 20, 2026 were in Ontario (3), British Columbia (1) and Manitoba (1). Those show where sellers have advertised, not where Freshii is granting new territories.

Disclosure law where Freshii is listed

All three provinces with Freshii listings have franchise disclosure statutes. Late or missing disclosure can give a franchisee a statutory right to rescind the franchise agreement, and that right runs on a deadline. Under the Ontario, British Columbia and Manitoba Acts, if the franchisor failed to provide the disclosure document within the time required or its contents did not meet the Act’s requirements, the franchisee may rescind within 60 days after receiving it, so keep that date.
