Former Gusto General Manager Justin Clark is opening a new own location this month in Atlanta at the Roswell-Wieuca Shopping Center. As the former general manager of the chain's Chamblee, Georgia, location, Clark brings an intimate knowledge of the brand and a proven track record for elevating the guest experience, Gusto Founder Nate Hybl said in a company press release.
"Justin has already demonstrated his leadership skills and community involvement at our Chamblee location, and he is extremely dedicated to his shop's performance," he said. "We're confident that under Justin's leadership, Gusto will become a meaningful part of the surrounding neighborhoods."
The local operating partner program was launched to help Gusto expand responsibly both around Atlanta and other regional markets, while also providing business-minded leaders an opportunity to run their own business without having to invest their own capital. Partners are charged with driving the success of their shops by investing in their team's development and being highly involved in their local community, according to the release.
