The TV shopping network that has sold Junior’s cheesecakes nationwide is QVC.
Junior’s is a Brooklyn restaurant and bakery especially famous for its dense, creamy New York-style cheesecake. The original restaurant opened in 1950, founded by Harry Rosen, and the business remains associated with several generations of the Rosen family.
QVC helped take the brand beyond New York City by allowing customers around the United States to order whole cheesecakes through television shopping. Junior’s own history says that, during its first QVC appearance in 1995, 2,400 cakes sold in less than five minutes. That television success helped turn a local Brooklyn specialty into a nationally recognized mail-order dessert.
QVC is easy to confuse with HSN, another major American home-shopping network, or with regional and international shopping channels such as Ideal World. The clue is specifically about Junior’s nationwide television-shopping relationship, for which QVC is the documented answer. Junior’s cheesecakes are also sold through restaurants, its website, retailers, and wholesale outlets.
