EXTON, PA -- For his company, POM Wonderful LLC in Los Angeles, the category of fresh pomegranates and bottled pomegranate juices has grown by a factor of 10 in four years, according to Kurt Vetter, vice president of sales.

Andy Bruno grew up in the produce industry and in some ways he never left it, working summers during college for Maui Fresh, the company then owned by his father, Art Bruno.

But with a business major and an economics minor, the 2001 graduate of the University of Puget Sound in Tacoma, WA, went to work for an investment banker in San Francisco for two years and quickly found that the produce industry does not have a monopoly on long hours.

"I had no life," Mr. Bruno laughed.
