Who We Are
With roots in Birmingham, Alabama, beginning with Jim ‘N Nick’s, followed by Taziki’s Café, Fresh Hospitality is based in Nashville, Tennessee and it's portfolio includes brands such as Martin’s Bar-B-Que Joint, Big Bad Breakfast, and I Love Juice Bar. Fresh's brands have received national awards and press recognition, and Fresh's core team brings together the knowledge of veteran CEOs, operators, and franchisees that have been involved in restaurants for decades.
What We Do
Fresh Hospitality’s mission is to help entrepreneurs grow. Fresh achieves that mission by providing financial and intellectual capital to growing food businesses. Fresh's brands all share common values; a deep appreciation for guests and communities, a healthy respect for food, and a drive to deliver genuine hospitality. That focus on values has pushed us to start businesses that span the hospitality industry.
Fresh invests in and operates businesses across the restaurant value chain including agriculture, production, retail distribution, real estate, technology, and restaurant operations.
