Mike Hendry, Retirement Party
On May 26th, a day after his birthday, Mike Hendry was thrown a retirement party by the Gonzalez Family at the fabulously popular Gonzalez Mercado Market in Costa Mesa. They held a private party in the outdoor patio area, and catered by the multiple food companies inside the Mercado store. Mike's family was in attendance as well as many of the Gonzalez family and top executives and his many food industry friends and colleagues.
As Northgate Market celebrates the retirement of Mike Hendry, it marks the close of a remarkable chapter defined by leadership, service and a lasting commitment to people. Throughout his career, Mike has been much more than a respected executive—he has been a trusted mentor, collaborator and champion for the grocery industry. His steady leadership and genuine approach helped shape relationships across the industry while contributing to the continued growth and success of Northgate.
