Mandy Rennehan Biography

Mandy Rennehan, founder and CEO of the Burlington, Ont.-based retail construction and maintenance company Freshco Retail Maintenance Inc. (not the grocery store, she notes), is a self-made multimillionaire, philanthropist, award-winning entrepreneur, host of HGTV’s "Trading Up with Mandy Rennehan" and trade-industry ambassador.

Commonly referred to as “Bear,” she founded the company at the age of 19. Born and raised in Yarmouth, N.S., she came from little money and her parents struggled to feed her and her three brothers. To help her father, a lobster fisherman, 10-year-old Bear foraged for bait and sold it to the local fishing community for profit.

Rennehan left home at the age of 18 with a dirty hockey bag, a little bit of personality and a big smile. She had a desire to know more about construction and to make her parents lives easier. She began working nights for local contractors for free to gain experience.

In 1995 when she was 19 years old, Freshco came to fruition. The first full service, 24/7, on-call retail maintenance provider with complete coverage across Canada and the eastern United States. Today, Freshco is the most successful and fiscally responsible retail maintenance business in the country with three collaborative divisions – Maintenance, Projects, and Reconstruction, serving retail giants like Anthropologie, Apple, Banana Republic, Bell Media, Home Depot, LuluLemon, Nike, Restoration Hardware, RBC, Sephora, under armor, Tiffany & Co., plus many more.

Freshco.ca still continues to grow in Canada and the US as the “fun company” in the industry, advocating for women in trades and also as a pioneer of transparency and innovation.

The Relatable Leader: The ROI of Being One

In order for any size company to scale exponentially, its needs creative critical thinking with accountable ownership that only comes from an entrepreneur right? Incubating a work environment that allows audacious, ambitious employees to be part of special projects and strategy with all the bells and whistles, without the stress of liability and the financial stress of the purse strings... Can you hear it? Ching-Ching-Ching...

Why Intrapreneurs are the Answer to Entrepreneurship

Incubating a work environment that allows audacious, ambitious employees to be part of special projects and strategy with all the bells and whistles, without the stress of liability and the financial stress of the purse strings...

Unleashing Your Bear Potential

Each individual has their own blueprint which makes them an absolute rarity in the world. Using her own story, Mandy inspires the confidence in people to discover and foster their own blueprints. Through candid, honest, and often funny antidotes, Mandy encourages people to open themselves up to their innate architecture, create their own path, and creatively harness individual strengths to discover their Bear Potential™.

Redefining the Collar Blue

North America has a massive skilled trade shortage that affects everyone. We are paying more and waiting longer for services, companies aren’t able to scale, and important infrastructure projects like roads, transit and hospitals are facing major delays. How did we get here? Perception! Societal ideology has brainwashed people to believe that white-collar careers are better than blue-collar ones, when they should command equal respect. Our current reality is university graduates who can’t find jobs and well-paying skilled trade jobs sitting empty. This has got to stop.

Life, Uncensored

Mandy candidly shares her journey from a small fishing town to becoming one of North America’s most powerful entrepreneurs. Mandy built a multi-million-dollar empire from the ground up by turning her passion into ingenuity and her personal brand into an award-winning business model. Born and raised in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, the daughter of a lobster fisherman, Mandy left home at the age of 18 with an old hockey bag, an audacious dream, and her cheeky smile, and the rest is history.
