Full article available at FSR Magazine.

We’re thrilled to see our client Mellow Mushroom named to FSR Magazine’s “NextGen 25: Rising Restaurants to Watch Beyond 2025.” The feature spotlights full-service brands redefining growth, and Mellow’s selection reflects a clear trajectory: modernizing ops and guest experience while keeping its imaginative identity front and center.

Over the past year, Mellow has accelerated that evolution—rolling out a streamlined, fast-fine prototype and sharpening the core experience without losing the brand’s playful soul. The Culinary Edge partnered with the team on this effort, from format and menu design (hello, Panizzi™ and smarter beverage systems) to operational simplicity and a more efficient footprint. It’s a disciplined shift from defense to offense that’s now earning national attention.
