I noticed in the classified ads Freshii is looking for staff for a restaurant opening in april...where will this location be? thanks

Good to have a separate thread for this one, most of the useful info had been scattered in other threads.  
 
We ate at one of these in Winnipeg and quite enjoyed it.  
 
They shared this pic of some of their reno work at the prev Blockbuster spot on 18th, but thats a month ago...  

We have a door! And walls! It's finally coming together Brandon! Stay tuned for more updatesuD83DuDE0A#freshii pic.twitter.com/jSQQqTlsph

Heres the job ad they're running that notes the April 2018 date:

IMO freshii will do really well in Brandon. It's something different that we need and has great tasting food.

I can’t picture the old blockbuster spot. I only moved here a few years ago. Freshii will be located on 18th and what cross street?

Glad you asked... its easy for a guy to assume, but it was really quite a while ago now that we had a Blockbuster!  
Its the mall behind Wok Box. Looks like its the North-most end of that mall that they're building out in.

18th and Park.. same parking lot as Wok Box

Getting close... from the info below, they're starting their staff training this weekend:  

It':s almost time to open the doors!! Construction is going hard this week and we start staff training this weekend.

Freshii is now open! Looks very busy today. Parking lot is full! probably the lunch rush.

If this is the place that emphasizes natural healthy food, then I''m on my way. Thanks for the info.

I just googled them and here is a link to their menu,

Went on Tuesday for lunch. It was great! Staff friendly. Food fresh and fast. I’ll be going quite frequently!

Any feedback from the others? Prices good for the amount you get?

I've been grabbing my lunch there as it's close to work.  
I've enjoyed everything I've tried so far other then the TexMex burrito. I found it bland and lacking any real flavour. Other then that everything else I've had has been great!! Fresh, flavourful, and at least further on the healthy side then most restaurants in town.

Can you eat inside or is it just take out?

Does anyone know if the daily meal boxes on their site are available in this new brandon location?

Before automatically assuming their menu is as healthy as Freshii claims, check out their nutrition content online first. Most definitely not keto.

are you telling us that if something isn't keto it isn't healthy? come on now

Carbs are not necessarily the devil haha  
 
 
you do have to actually look at the nutritional content, i went on line to compare them but they dont say their weight of food so cant compare if one is huge and the other is small.  
 
some items had a fair amount of sodium for my liking, some of Mcdonalds salads have fewer calories then the ones listed on freshii so dont just assume, mind you if you like it you like it and if you keep eating out to a moderate amount then all is good

Personally, I don't think Keto is healthy at all. Definitely not if you need to watch fat content or sodium for heart health. Freshii does have a fair bit of sodium in some of their dishes, but I still think it's a lot less sodium than you would get eating out at most other places including regular sit-down (not fast food) places. Their menu still has several items that are low fat and low sodium.

Yes, you can eat in. Lots of room inside. Today we went for lunch and there was a long line.  
Wished they would use numbers instead of calling names. Plus the cutlery can be improved. Small spoon for a big bowl of soup doesn't cut it. Takes forever to finish the bowl of soup! :-) Overall, I would go back and try the other food on the menu.

Checking out the menu online but I don't like that they don't post prices. Is it expensive? If you "customize" things does the price increase with each item. Can anyone answer regarding prices?

Looks good!

Well I don't know what you consider "expensive". Kind of a subjective question. Its no more then any other fast food healthy food type of place. Lunch would likely range from $12 - $17 on average. Could be a little more depending on what all you want.
