Peter Grise

Peter was an executive chef, catering director, and general manager at Bon Appetit in Minneapolis for eight years, and buyer, operations manager and deli manager at Northcountry Cooperative Grocery for six years, prior to arriving at Eastside in January 2008. Peter’s food service background includes training in margin management, sales growth and marketing, personnel, and data management. He has a current Food Manager certification. Peter’s deep experience in both restaurants and delis, in both restaurant retail and grocery retail, give him great perception in consumer trends and tastes, which is consistently balanced by what makes fiscal sense for the business operation. Peter sought employment at Eastside because he felt that the lessons in his previous venues could be successfully implemented here, where he believed there was management in place that would support his efforts and offer him an opportunity to expand and grow the deli.  Peter lives with his family in Southeast Minneapolis.
