The Freshworks was started in 1996 by Kevin Mooney and John Parrish, 2 lifelong friends with a history of working in area sandwich shops who had a goal of bringing the best sandwich they could to their flagship Northeast Philadelphia location. Where does every sandwich start but with the bread? They just wanted something unique, something different than all the other neighborhood shops offered, something “fresh”…..little did they know that this thought on bread alone would lead to a whole concept that would become The Freshworks.
