What
does Frankie’s mean? Who hit on this idea?
Frankie’s means honesty in Latin. The name is chosen
to signal that all we do in Frankie’s is true and honest. We don’t add anything
to the juices and everything we prepare is fresh and in high quality, which is
also the reason we are preparing all our product in front of our customers.
How do you create recipes for juices?
The recipes are very carefully designed after a summer of testing and trying many different combinations. Our goal is to make different kind of tastes, but keeping all juices fresh and healthy. We wanted to make juices for every taste.
But in
Frankie’s we can also eat health salads and soups and go jogging with you and
your workers in the evening. Do you want to create a meeting place where people
like you (who live healthily and actively) get together ?
The main idea behind Frankie’s is to create an
atmosphere of openness and good feeling. We are the place for people who are
and dare to be themselves and being true to themselves. Our philosophy is to
combine healthy lifestyle with trend and openness. You don’t have to live super
healthy to visit Frankie’s, it is more important that you will be yourself.

How
long have you been living in this way?
I have always been living healthy, it is a lifestyle.
But as everything else in this world – living healthy should be a balance. If
you overdo it and don’t have yourself with you, it will never work out.
Sometimes you have to give yourself some freedom, to do what you feel for.
Are
you happy here and now? Before you set up your own business in Poland, you had
worked as Account Manager in Denmark. Why did you decide to quit a job and
start doing something else?
It is very difficult measure happiness, but I like
adventures and experiences. I think life should be one long road of experience,
which create the foundation for happiness and freedom. Going to Poland and
changing my life completely was a very big experience for me, and I have
achieved and learned a lot on my way. Now more and new experiences are waiting
for me and I can’t wait to get started.

You’ve
changed not only your job but also your life. Have you ever been in Poland
before? A lot of people go abroad but you arrived here.
The reason I came to Poland is two sided. I had a
personal reason and a business reason. My mother is born in Wroclaw and lived
the first 16 years of her life here. I wanted to feel on my own body where she
came from and want culture made her how she is today. From a business point of
view I have a great believe in Poland’s growth and I think within 10-15 years
Poland’s wealth and culture will be more similar to rest of Western Europe. I also
believe that we have a chance to create something different and original with
the background we have. Our dream is to make Frankie’s a big chain in Poland,
but always have focus on the closeness with our customers.
You
moved with your younger brother, you work together. Was it a smart move? Was
setting-up Frankie’s your dream?
Frankie’s is our dream now; we believe in it and will
do what it takes to make it work. My brother and I are very different as
persons and in the way we think, we have different strength and weakness, but
we always respect each other. Which is why it is working very good between us.
We have divided our working tasks into different groups and respect each other
work. When your brother is also your business partner, you always have one
person close to you whom you can trust 100%, and this is very important.

We believe in doing things in a different way –
thinking out of the box. This is the reason we did all these events and we have
the courage to do it. It is nice when we can offer people something more than
our everyday products and we will always work on smaller
events. We are also having fun doing it, which I guess is very important.
