What Whitney Way Thore's Dad Glenn Really Does For A Living

Publish date: 2024-05-05

Glenn Thore has built quite a career in printing. According to his LinkedIn, he graduated with a BA in History & Political Science from Guilford College in 1973, then honed in on the print industry, building his way up to vice president of manufacturing at L&E Packaging, Inc. in 1981. According to Bloomberg, the company prints hang tags and labels for clothing and Glenn worked there for more than 21 years. He then took a job as the vice president and general manager of PBM Graphics Greensboro Division in 2003, followed by a gig as account manager at Hutchison Allgood in 2010. After that, he jumped to Graphic Visual Solutions as an account manager in 2012 before settling down again, this time as executive vice president and general manager at Millennium Print Group in 2014. The company handles all aspects of printing — from color-proofing to die-cutting and fulfillment — and despite being in his 70s, Glenn is still working there part-time.

His potential retirement was even a storyline on Season 10 of "My Big Fat Fabulous Life," as he mulled over the idea of stepping back — but only slightly — and going into the office three days a week, while spending the rest of his time caring for his wife. In the end, that's what he decided on, with Whitney Way Thore confirming on Instagram in June 2022 that she was heading to his "(semi) retirement party."
