In a clip pulled from an episode featured on October 22, Poorvi discusses the “trifecta” of attributes that make for a great brand, how Biena incorporates long-term trends into its innovation strategy and how building to win means learning in small ways. 20:36: Interview: Charles Coristine, CEO, LesserEvil – Let's keep it going with Charles Coristine, the CEO of fast-growing better-for-you snack brand LesserEvil In this clip, from our episode published on July 30, Charles discusses the value of self-manufacturing for end consumers, why he advocates that founders be “super scrappy” and not over-hire, and his belief that being an entrepreneur is “a hero's journey.” 25:44: Interview: Peter Rahal, Co-Founder, RXBAR & David – Next we have Peter Rahal, the co-founder of groundbreaking protein bar brands RXBAR and David.

Six years after Justin Rosenberg opened the first location of Honeygrow, the fast-casual restaurant chain was at a crossroads. Its growth strategy, he says, was “too entrepreneurial.” Founded in 2012, Honeygrow, which is short for “honest food, grown locally,” sells stir-fry meals, salads and desserts made with fresh and better-for-you ingredients. The Philadelphia-based company currently operates over 50 restaurants in seven states with plans to open several more in the coming months. While Honeygrow is in the midst of an ambitious expansion plan, Justin, who has raised $80 million in equity financing since its inception, is attuned to the challenges he faced six years after the restaurant's debut. At that time, the company had veered away from the brand elements that made Honeygrow special in the eyes of its customers in favor of an approach that, in hindsight, was overly focused on opening new locations.  In this episode, Justin talks about his initial vision for Honeygrow, what he learned from taking a hands-on approach during its early years despite having almost no experience in foodservice, and how the company is trying to “perfect the algorithm of the brand.” He also discusses Honeygrow's sourcing strategy and its focus on serving “great” ingredients and “amazing customer experiences,” how he evaluates service and quality at individual locations of Honeygrow, and why day-to-day management of the business – and not an exit strategy – is always top of mind. Show notes: 0:35: Justin Rosenberg, Founder & CEO, Honeygrow – Justin talks about why he's constantly on the road, how he evaluates potential locations for new Honeygrow restaurants and why his store visits are typically unannounced (and the one time it almost led to a fight). He also explains why his vision and goal for the company are tied to customer experience, the origins of the name Honeygrow and its design aesthetic, why the restaurant chain is focused on stir fry meals, salads, and its “honeybars” and how a chance meeting helped him find an ideal ingredient. Justin and Ray hail their love for an HBO television series about entrepreneurship (and find common bonds in apparel) before the Honeygrow founder explains why the chain was developed to be an international brand and what gave him the confidence to open its second location. He also talks about the generally collegial relationships among founders of fast-casual chains, how a “pressure to grow” led to Honeygrow to expand too quickly and almost go out of business in 2018, how the company righted the ship and how he managed the challenges on a personal level. Justin also discusses “the common denominator” among Honeygrow's leadership team, how “trust comes with time and wins,” whether an entrepreneurial mindset among store employees is welcomed, how consumer feedback influences menu decisions and new product development and why he looks at Yelp and Google reviews every morning. Brands in this episode: Honeygrow, RxBar, David, Coca-Cola

Sarah and Kevin chat about what goes into creating a viral social media video that serves style and opinion, and Kevin shares his favorite-ever performance costume.

In this episode of Take-Away with Sam Oches, Sam talks with Justin Rosenberg, the founder and CEO of Philadelphia-based Honeygrow, which has 31 locations in 7 markets on the east coast. The fast casual was a hot commodity after launching in 2012, but by 2018 the business had become bloated, forcing Honeygrow to close some locations. Justin joins the podcast to talk about some of the mistakes that were made, how he's refined the brand by learning from those mistakes, and what other restaurant entrepreneurs should know before they scale their concept. In this conversation, you'll find out why:  You should minimize your G&A expenses and focus on great people instead Sometimes you need a moment to catch your breath and refine your model There is untapped potential in smaller markets Don't get too bogged down in complex technologies If you're starting a concept from scratch, don't just clone what's popular Mistakes can be awesome — so long as you don't make them again Don't let your ego get in the way of your brand's potential Have feedback or ideas for Take-Away?

There's nothing better than a homegrown success story, and this next podcast is proof of that. Justin Rosenberg, founder of Honeygrow restaurants, has quite the story to tell. It's a story of resilience, courage in business, and great leadership, because it wasn't always sunny in Philadelphia for this local brand. Established in 2012, Honeygrow was on an explosive trajectory, growing outside the Philadelphia market quickly and expanding as far west as Chicago, which proved to be too much too fast and Justin had to make some difficult decisions in order to save the company and his dream. Justin talks candidly and honestly about the successes as well as the failures, giving myself and the listener a true lesson in business that we may all face someday. 

In Episode 4 James and Aevry discuss their beef with Honeygrow, Overcoming fears, Being stabbed by jesus, Marketing , and meat scented candles.

In this episode we interview the CEO & Founder of Honeygrow, Justin Rosenberg. Not only does he recount the amazing story of how he learned the skills necessary to launch this ground breaking quick-service restaurant concept, but also he shares the reality of how he and his team weathered the storm that COVID brought the food industry.  We also discuss the role that kindness has played in the growth of his brand and the development of their strong culture as they have expended to 26 locations (at the time of our recording). More about Justin: Justin Rosenberg is Founder and CEO of honeygrow, a fast-casual stir-fry and salad concept founded in Philadelphia in 2012. With a mission to create a unique, spirited brand focused on simple, wholesome foods, Rosenberg has led the company's creation and growth, which today consists of 26 units. Prior to launching honeygrow, Rosenberg worked as an Asset Manager and Manager of Energy Services for PREIT in Philadelphia, where he was responsible for purchasing and hedging strategies, energy costing, solar power development, capital budgeting, retail re-merchandising strategies and forecasting for a portfolio of over 35 national shopping centers and malls throughout the US. After seven years in the finance and real estate industry, Rosenberg decided it was time to pursue his true passions of entrepreneurialism, cooking and creative brand-building. Influenced by his recent adoption of a plant-based diet and his love for design and music, he drew inspiration for a concept set to differentiate itself from the rest. To prepare himself for this new venture, Justin staged at various restaurants from Philadelphia to Washington, D.C. to gain further experience in kitchen operations, cooking, and leadership. In 2012, the first honeygrow location opened in the Rittenhouse neighborhood of Philadelphia, and Rosenberg's vision catapulted to the next level. Since that day, honeygrow would continue to expand its unit count and team, with sights set for becoming an enduring, sustainable organization. The company has raised over $70 million in equity financing and has grown into the Boston, Pittsburgh, Baltimore, Washington DC and the New York City metro areas. In 2020, Justin received the Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year Award for the Greater Philadelphia region. Justin resides in the Philadelphia suburbs with his wife and three children. His passions outside of honeygrow include Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, cooking, all-things guitar, hiking, and surfing. He is a member of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia's (CHOP) Corporate Council and a board member of the Common Market Mid-Atlantic. Click here to connect with Justin!

For its first few years in business, Honeygrow enjoyed the same kind of momentum and accolades as other trendy fast casuals popping up on the East Coast. Its unique stir-fry menu and ahead-of-its-time touchscreen ordering platform helped it earn a loyal following and propelled it out of its home market of Philadelphia and into cities like New York, Boston, and Washington, D.C. But in 2018, Honeygrow's momentum came to a screeching halt. The launch of sister concept Minigrow, along with a three-unit expansion into Chicago, proved to be bad bets, and Rosenberg was forced to make some difficult decisions in turning the brand around.In this conversation with QSR editor Sam Oches, Rosenberg details the story of Honeygrow's rise, reveals the red flags that convinced him it was in need of an overhaul, and shares the secret to how the brand successfully righted the ship.QSR Magazine informationFacebook | Twitter | Instagram | LinkedInQSRmagazine.com Have feedback or interview suggestions?
