Freshko

Freshko began its corporate journey in 2003 as a homegrown community initiative in Barangay Bangkas Heights, Davao City, founded by entrepreneurs Andro and Marylou Gerondio. What started as a modest venue to support their household needs while recovering from personal hardships quickly evolved into a popular regional brand. Through rigorous product consistency, local sourcing protocols, and clever recipe development, the company managed to systematically upscale into a highly recognizable enterprise known across Southern Mindanao for its reliable taste, cleanliness, and nutritional integrity.

Operating under Freshko Corporation, the enterprise has structurally refined its operational framework to accommodate structured franchise partnerships. Its versatile platform supports several configurations including commercial inline kiosks, compact mall food carts, and versatile mobile units or food trucks designed for seasonal festivals. This allows franchisees to match their physical setup perfectly with regional consumer traffic density, real estate availability, and specific localized target markets.

As part of its long-term strategic vision, the brand aims to establish over one hundred active retail distribution points over the coming years, driven heavily by its geographical expansion into the Visayas and Metro Manila regions. Franchisees receive comprehensive support encompassing site selection assistance, robust raw materials supply chain channels, standardized operational manuals, and intensive crew training programs. This comprehensive corporate backing ensures that newly launched branches maintain the exact quality metrics that made the original Davao outlets iconic fruit beverage destination spots.
