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

Born and raised in the concrete jungle of New York, our guest today, Justin Rosenberg, somehow found his way to the sun-soaked shores of California, with an unforgettable 23 year pit-stop in Florida that lasted longer than any human should tolerate. Riding the rollercoaster of life, Justin's history includes a somewhat colorful experimentation phase (read: did drugs), but these days he's high on life, memes, sarcasm, and a love of photography. A once proud owner of a large intestine, he's since downsized and let it go - because who needs extra baggage? Also, in a strange twist of fate, he was born without Crohn's Disease, but now sports the condition like a badge of honor.Justin, a professional button-pusher, specializes in the simple yet elusive craft of capturing images. With cameras. Shocking, right? He varies his time between the artsy-fartsy avant-garde photographic world and the traditional corporate/branding photographic world. He does not want to, and will not, document your wedding or bar/bat mitzvah. Fog? He loves it. Tomatoes? Not so much. And while he's never bumped into Betty White in a grocery aisle (a major life disappointment), he does harbor an inexplicable fondness for shopping carts, including an actual tattoo of one. As you dive into this episode, chances are Justin is off somewhere having an introvert party-of-two with his rescue dog, Wilder. Self-promotion isn't really his jam, so he let me, the quick-witted and ever-so-slightly sarcastic ChatGPT4 AI, take the reins to deliver this delightfully quirky bio. Also, please follow his dog on Instagram (@wildertherescue). It's an LA thing, apparently.

In this episode, Eric Hsu and Louis Everuss entertain the possibility that one of the previous episodes they did wasted everyone's time. They have a chat about Justin Rosenberg's polemical argument that scholars are paying too much attention to the concept of globalization. Not only is it being used in theoretically problematic ways, perhaps it actually does not say all that much. Eric and Louis consider responses to this argument, and as always they end up talking about a lot of strange topics, like the global stardom of the Korean pop singer, Psy, why Louis hates bourbon whiskey, and how Eric once managed to get sleep at Singapore Changi airport by pushing two chairs together.Music and sound effects for this episode come from various sources and is licensed under the Creative Commons 0 License, the Creative Commons Attribution License 3.0 or is covered by a SFX (Multi-Use) License.

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.
AmiSights: Financing the Future For Small Business Owners and Entrepreneurs
On this episode, Ami Kassar interviews Justin Rosenberg, founder and CEO of honeygrow, on lessons learned from managing a chain of restaurants during the pandemic. Justin is the 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 will consist of 26 units by year end. 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 and in 2021, was distinguished as a member of the Philadelphia Business Journal's 40 Under 40 class. Justin resides in the Philadelphia suburbs with his wife, three children, and Goldendoodle, Bowie. 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. Recorded 10/06/2021.
James Lee sits down with former East Coaster, turned West Coast Portrait Photographer, Justen Rosenberg! Justin is primarily a portrait photographer, who also shoots corporate and commercial work with a bit of landscape thrown in for good measure. Ten Year's Sober, but he doesn't see that as a crutch but rather helps show duality within his photography, that he can be both happy and sad at the same times. But it is not only in his photography that it helps; it helps him as a human also. It isn't embarrassing, and he is open with this to help his own healing and help others who are going through the same journey as others have been with him in the past to help him out. While his corporate work is heavily structured, his portrait work is incredibly experimental and helps the models open up and feel comfortable. But he's not about only looking good and making pretty photos. There's always something more. More is a little nebulous and hard to define. But it isn't the mechanical hitting the seven 'must-have' shots; it's about getting the subject more than understanding the gear. It's about the subject, building a rapport with them rather than you (the photographer) and what you want. You have to take the ego, your ego, out of the equation. Of course, that is harder than it looks, especially when someone is willing and offering to pay for your work. And it has been a journey since then, from landscapes to horrible portraits, more and more whatever the day brings. Into shows and moved into a bit of a dark end of society. Then drugs entered into the picture, which resulted in moving to California to enter rehab; which after the rehab learned, Justin knew his way around the camera and welcomed him into the non-profit ad agency attached to the clinic, which leads him to get sober and being brought on to run the photography side of the agency. Today his style is highly experimental, with plenty of films and digital with even a mix of instant work. And the film doesn't slow him down; it actually speeds him up in the sense that he can shoot a handful of rolls and end up with only forty-odd photos to go through, which is faster to edit rather than the thousands of digital images. The two things that Justin does suggest to aspiring commercial or folks looking to get into any photography as a source of income first is to learn the business; second, learn how to be a good person and talk to people. By the end of the episode, both James and Justin realised that they are, in fact, the same person.
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).

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?

Fine art and experimental portrait photographer Justin Rosenberg joins the podcast to trace how his journey went from chasing a masters degree in evolutionary psychology, to living in a rehab center in LA, to falling in love with photography and using it to reconnect with his new sober self. Although Justin was born in New York, he spent most of his life in Florida and we talk about what it was like growing up there and his early love for music, the counter culture scene, and eventually drugs. There were several factors that would contribute to the path Justin took in life, but one that would continue to sometimes push him into a darker place was his battle with Crohn's Disease and the complications that would often arise because of it. In spite of those circumstances, Justin excelled in his undergraduate psychology studies and pursed what appeared would be an inevitable career in the world of evolutionary psychology. When financial strain over all the medical expenses that were adding up caused him to have to quit his masters pursuit, he found himself working a job he never imagined and sinking further and further into the world of drug abuse. In 2011 two things would change the course of his life forever. He had to have his large intestine removed, and he checked himself into a rehab in Los Angeles where his sister lived. It would be in that rehab center that he would be given an opportunity to work with an "in house" ad agency and began to reconnect with photography that he had once had a passion for in his younger years. During our conversation we talk about the evolution from shooting commercial projects to the subject matter and aesthetic he is known for today, how he manages to convince models to get nude in the snow, how he found out so much about himself through the photos he shoots, and the advice he gives to others that might be dealing with addiction or just trying to carve out their own place in the world of photography.

This week, Mike and Sammy wax nostalgic about more Nickelodeon game shows with Justin Rosenberg! Justin has worked as a journalist for ESPN, worked on the documentary "Jordan Rides the Bus", and as a PR director for the Birmingham Barons (much like Wayne Knight on Space Jam). We reviewed Wrestlemania x-Seven. Wrestlemania x-Seven featured such bouts as "Big Show vs. Kane vs. Raven", "Vince McMahon vs. Shane McMahon", "The Dudley Boyz vs. The Hardy Boyz vs. Edge and Christian", and "The Rock vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin". We discuss Space Jam, inappropriate thoughts about the female wrestler Chyna, how professional wrestling is more upstanding than other sports, symbolism in the "Garfield" comic strip, and injuring yourself for the sake of entertainment.
