Details

You know the banana pudding. Now meet the person taking it global.

Nathan Louer was named CEO of Magnolia Bakery in February 2026, after serving as chief brand officer at Jamba and working at Jimmy John’s. He took the helm during a big year: the brand is celebrating its 30th anniversary, and it started as a small bakery on a cobblestone corner in the West Village in 1996.

Today it’s much more than a corner shop. Magnolia runs 40 international bakeries and 10 U.S. locations, and is opening its first U.S. franchised stores in the back half of 2026, in cities like Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, Detroit and Cleveland.
