How long have you been in the restaurant industry? I have been in the restaurant industry for 15 years and currently own 4 Huckleberry locations with plans to grow more in northern California. I have had other franchises in the past however, Huckleberry’s has been the most exciting brand for me yet!
What have you gained from owning a Huckleberry’s Breakfast and lunch Franchise? Huckleberry’s is like family to me. I have invested a lot of time in my employees and managers in creating a place they are excited to be at every day. Creating a memorable experience for our guests to relax and escape making us their go-to spot for breakfast and lunch. With the HRB leadership team in place, a strong business model, ongoing innovation and great value, I’m confident that Huckleberry’s will be a driving force in the industry.
