Alberta’s largest independent Freson Bros. opened the doors to its newest location and the first in Edmonton on March 5.

Freson Bros. began as a butcher shop in Hinton, Alta in 1955 by founders Frank Lovsin and Frank Resek. Freson Bros. now operates 15 Fresh Market stores across Alberta and employs about 1,000 people. The independent chain has built a reputation offering local Alberta foods, including beef, chicken and pork.
