About Mark Giannulis

The top compliment people give me, hands down, is that my positivity helps brighten their days. Anytime I hear that, I am honored and feel a sense of true completeness. However, I didn't quite understand how much my positive outlook on life would come in handy until I started waiting tables early on in my career. Those years sharpened my soft skills, got me in a lot of rooms and provided me the opportunities anyone would want to really learn the business. Over that time, I've helped both corporate and privately owned restaurants and retail markets reach their sales goals."Sonny's Real Pit BBQ" Server/Prep Palm Harbor, FL 3 years "Chuy's Tex-Mex" Server/Expo Nashville, TN 2 years "Gray's On Main" Server/Expo Franklin, TN 4 years "Renardo Family Produce" General Manager Tarpon Springs, FL 6 years "Sprouts Farmers Market " Assistant Manager Produce Department Palm Harbor, FL 1 year Currently, I work in St. Petersburg, Florida, where I had the distinct honor of leading the produce department in the grand opening of Whole Foods Market. It's been a year since we opened and as a member of produce leadership, understanding the business and it's key metrics allows me to really get the most effective use of my time. While I do love rolling out merch plans on the sales floor, I am also well versed in writing schedules, balancing the buying & labor budgets, shrink management & prevention, inventory control, & passing many different audits, including food safety.
