About

An operator first.

Anthony DiNardo is an Atlanta-based entrepreneur and multi-location food business operator. He owns Henri's Bakery & Deli and Galla's Pizza, and serves as President of the Retail Bakers of America.

Portrait of Anthony DiNardo

He didn't grow up wanting to be a baker. He grew up around a family business.

Anthony came from a background in medical-device sales and sales management before acquiring his family's nearly century-old Atlanta institution, Henri's Bakery & Deli, in 2016.

Since then, he has helped transform Henri's into a growing multi-location operation — recognized on the Inc. 5000 with 73% three-year growth — while protecting the traditions that made the brand special in the first place.

His perspective is different because he looks at a food business as an operator:

  • How are the numbers?
  • How are the people?
  • Can the experience be replicated?
  • Can management operate without the owner standing there?
  • Can another location actually make the company better?
  • Is growth producing more profit — or simply more complexity?

That's the work he writes and speaks about: the operator's side of food, the part that determines whether a great product ever becomes a great business.
