Our Story
How it Started
Once upon a time, two friends took a leap of faith, tossing aside their conventional jobs to meet at a quaint restaurant with nothing but their dreams and determination. Little did they know, those scribbled notes on napkins would birth Rose Bean in 2011, a haven that swiftly became more than just a business—it became a testament to the power of chasing pipe dreams.
Starting small with a shoestring budget, they hustled to build their inventory. As they navigated the unpredictable waters of entrepreneurship they cultivated a culture of respect, support for working moms, and a "figure it out" mentality. They embraced change, allowing their business to evolve organically while cherishing the fast-paced rhythm of their bustling workspace.
At the heart of Rose Bean is a team guided by a set of core values, anchoring every endeavor with purpose and passion.
