Our story
From a single orange kiosk to Canada’s favourite juice bar.
From Orange Cup to Freshly Squeezed
It all started with an orange kiosk in 1976. Orange Cup of Canada Limited was incorporated in 1976, beginning a journey built around one simple idea: serving fresh, quality juice that people loved.
In 1992, the Freshly Squeezed brand was introduced. Over the next three years, the Orange Cup locations transitioned to Freshly Squeezed, marking the beginning of a new chapter for the brand.
By the mid-1990s, Freshly Squeezed had grown to eight corporate-owned locations across the Greater Toronto Area and continued expanding throughout Ontario and into major cities across Canada.
In 2004, Freshly Squeezed Franchise Juice Corporation was established to operate the franchise system, and since 2005, entrepreneurs across Canada have had the opportunity to become part of the Freshly Squeezed family.
Over the years, the business continued to evolve, introducing new concepts and brands including Yogurt Delight, Refuel, Refuel Juicery, Presotea, and Freshly Squeezed Bubble Tea.
Today, Freshly Squeezed carries forward the same entrepreneurial spirit that started with a single orange kiosk—while continuing to grow, innovate, and create new opportunities for the future.
One idea. One kiosk. More than 30 years of growth. And the journey continues.

The Art of Cold-Pressed Perfection
Fresh isn’t just a name. It’s a way of doing things.
It starts with real fruits and vegetables, selected for their freshness, flavor, and quality. From there, we use a gentle cold-pressing process to transform them into vibrant, refreshing juices that let the ingredients speak for themselves.
From the first press to the final pour, we keep it simple—great ingredients, bold natural flavors, and a fresh taste you can feel good about.
Pressed with purpose. Made to taste fresh.
Evolving With You: Innovation Meets Tradition
30 years of fresh ideas— and a passion for what’s next.
We’re proud of where we came from, but we’ve never believed in standing still. For over 30 years, Freshly Squeezed has continued to evolve, bringing together the flavors our customers know and love with exciting new tastes inspired by what’s happening around the world.
From introducing fresh, natural sugarcane juice more than a decade ago to creating our latest sensation, Dubai Kunafa, we’re always looking for the next flavor worth discovering.
Our Dubai Kunafa brings together layers of rich pistachio cream, crispy roasted kunafa, fresh strawberries, premium chocolate drizzle, and pistachio crunch—creating an indulgent experience that’s as exciting as it is delicious.

Uncompromising Quality in Every Cup
There’s a reason we’ve been blending for over 30 years.
We believe the difference is in the details—the ingredients we choose, the combinations we create, and the way every drink is prepared.
From fruit and veggie smoothies and energizing shakes to slush bubble teas and functional matcha, our menu brings together fresh flavor and modern choices. Add protein, supplements, or other functional ingredients to make your drink uniquely yours.
Because after 30 years, we know that quality isn’t something you add at the end.
It starts with the very first ingredient.
