COLLEGE PARK, Maryland – Monique Rose, Founder of Monique Rose Management, is set to speak at the 5th Annual Sweatpants & Chill Retreat October 21-23 in Cambridge, Maryland. The restauranteur and motivational speaker recently opened two new eateries in the Washington, D.C. area, and in historic College Park, Georgia. 

Opening in May 2022, Milk & Honey Market Eatery & Bar is a spin-off of the original brand concept created by Rose and her business partner, celebrity Chef Sammy Davis, in 2016. Rose grew the Milk & Honey brand to over $30M in revenue before selling it in 2020. She retained two locations in the transaction. 

The Bodega opened in September of this year and is a New York-style gourmet deli and shake shop with plans to feature milkshakes that can be spiked with alcohol.

As a multi-hyphenated entrepreneur, Monique Rose is on a mission to “outwork everybody.” Her tagline continues to manifest as she expands her empire one industry at a time. 

In 2011, Monique settled into restaurant consulting and management in the Atlanta, Georgia area and has since built her brand by opening and successfully operating more than a dozen restaurants throughout the United States, including Milk & Honey Cafe, co-founded in 2015. Monique Rose Management is now the culmination of 20 years of experience and is the parent company to her current Restaurant, Retail, Beauty, Health and Wellness, and Commercial Real Estate portfolio. She also passionately operates a new non-profit organization called Rags to Roses, which focuses on providing resources to underserved demographics of young women.

“I believe the most beautiful thing about success is that it is by definition the accomplishment of an aim or purpose,” explains Rose. “Which means that it is defined by the individual and not the masses. What an amazing thing that you can choose your own success literally. Entrepreneurship is defined by the person that is willing to assume the most risk for their own idea, product, or service. You must be willing to initiate, and then follow through to execution and beyond. Execution is what separates an entrepreneur from everybody else that just has an idea.”

Rose’s management and restaurant consulting firm, Monique Rose Management, is the umbrella over several business ventures, including a content creation studio compound, The Collab ATL; an exotic snack shop, Milk & Cookies; a commercial and residential real estate company, M&H Holdings LLC; and a health and wellness brand, Mink & Honey Beauty.

Rose reveals that she has plans to create and sell at least two restaurant concepts in the next five years.
