This session took place at the 2019 Pizza Expo. The 2018 Young Entrepreneur of the Year Sammy Mandell of Greenville Avenue Pizza Company in Dallas, Texas, has some things to say. From humble-yet-enthusiastic beginnings, Mandell encountered one obstacle after another in his quest to launch and then grow Green Avenue Pizza Company. One thing that never wavered was his optimism and his belief that he could take his pizza concept to the top. Winning the Young Entrepreneur of the Year honor did not constitute a culmination for Mandell, but a beginning. As he looks to the future, he stepped onto the main stage at International Pizza Expo 2019 for our Day Two Keynote Address. Here, Mandell not only tells attendees where he has been and outline where he is going, but he showcases the conviction, dedication and ingenuity it took to get this young and shining star launched into orbit.
