Matthew Corrin (born 1982) is a Canadian businessman.[1] He is the founder, chairman and former CEO of Freshii.[2][3]
Early life
[edit | edit source]Corrin was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba in 1982. He attended St. John's-Ravenscourt School and the University of Western Ontario where he graduated with a Bachelor of Arts degree.[4][5]
Career
[edit | edit source]Corrin worked in New York City for fashion designer Oscar de la Renta when he came across the fresh delis and wanted to create his own fresh food business.[6] In 2005, he started Freshii with the first location opening in Toronto, Ontario.[7]
In 2022, Corrin stepped down as CEO of Freshii to focus on a new venture, Percy, which outsources cashiers at restaurants via videoconferencing.
About the same time in 2022, the sales for the Freshii stores were plummeting. Corrin was able to pull off a sale to Foodtastic for a very high amount of money. The sale to Foodtastic led the Franchisees into a failure state. Many stores failed under Corrin’s leadership, but the number escalated significantly after Foodtastic acquisition of the FRESHII brand.
