The restaurant is filled with colourful sticky notes on the wall as part of the store d\u00e9cor, each one is worth $1\u200a\u2014\u200athe price of one slice of pizza. Each one feeds a homeless person.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cOne day, a customer asked to buy forward a slice for a homeless person,\u201d Mason Wartman, the owner of the shop, said in a video for the Ellen DeGeneres show. He then purchased sticky notes, which now cover an entire wall at his restaurant. \u201cThen a homeless person takes a sticky note and trades it in for a slice of pizza.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to the video, Rosa\u2019s feeds approximately 100 homeless persons a day. Visit for a slice of pizza and the gift of giving back. If you\u2019re not in the Philly area but still wish to help out, the restaurant has set up a donation page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly, only after six years Rosa\u2019s had served its last pies at its flagship shop on 11th and Market streets, citing rising costs and competition as the reasons. Despite a price increase to $1.25 in 2017, lots of attention in the media, and a feel-good mission that encouraged customers to pay extra for their pizza which in turn would buy slices for the homeless, the shop struggled to stay afloat amidst the other lunch spots in both neighbourhoods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-it-s-cool\">Why it\u2019s&nbsp;Cool?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 It helps homeless people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 Great decoration of kindness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 It increases awareness of social responsibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u00b7 Perfect for your Instagram post!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-images-1.medium.com\/max\/1600\/1*lSvDu0VG-nxAg96wORbNxg.png\" alt=\"\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-why-it-has-future-growth-potential\">Why it has future growth potential?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>In this era, our generation is looking for something more than just food and drinks. Businesses are always competing and they need something more than just a good taste in their mouth therefore this is where the brilliant idea of Rosa\u2019s Fresh Pizza came from.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thanks to this fantastic idea of the owner, he has brought an interesting&nbsp;<strong>product &amp; consumer interaction<\/strong>&nbsp;where they could help homeless people fill their stomach. Furthermore, with the sticky notes filled with kind words all over the restaurant, it is indeed an&nbsp;<strong>unforgettable touch point experience<\/strong>&nbsp;that tenders your heart. This means, the importance of the&nbsp;<strong>flagship<\/strong>&nbsp;of this place is fulfilled by a warm and welcoming atmosphere of its own. This innovation could move the hearts of millennials and generation Z who tend to be more sensitive towards&nbsp;<strong>social responsibility<\/strong>&nbsp;and the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even though Rosa\u2019s pizza ended up closing down, their&nbsp;<strong>instagrammable<\/strong>&nbsp;decoration has stolen our hearts&nbsp;. It has also made a huge&nbsp;<strong>social media buzz<\/strong>&nbsp;across communities where doing business in this manner proves to be difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is&nbsp;it?
