California Fresh

Sandwich and smoothie deli

Welcome to California Fresh. If you have been looking for an opportunity to escape beyond the traditional corporate world and get rewarded for your efforts then you've come to the right place!

California Fresh began as an idea by three friends who were tired of the Corporate Grind. While at lunch with their wives back in 2003 the guys wanted sandwiches while the gals craved smoothies. When they couldn't find a place that served both, an idea was born! So the three friends created a deli that specializeds in sandwiches and salads made with fresh meats, cheeses and produce, while serving the best smoothies this side of the Pacific Ocean! Add in a das of California ambience and a commitment to great customer service, and the rest is history. In 2009, California Fresh began expanding from its flagship Santa Maria store and franchising its concept.

Our commitment to you is to work with you to create your own successful California Fresh in your community!
