David Fisch (COO) and Henry's Camera is a Canadian electronics retailer that sells photography, video and related technology based products that is headquartered in Toronto, Ontario.
Henry's is a source for products, advice and customer service in camera-related hardware and accessories for photography, videography and online content creation.
Henry's was established in 1909 by Harry Himelstein, a Russian laborer on the Trans-Siberian Railway - turned watchmaker - who immigrated to Canada in 1906 at the age of 16.
In 1958, Gerald and Adele Stein bought out Harry and became the owners of Henry & Company, a business that was just entering its second half century.
In the late 1950s, the Japanese consumer electronics industry emerged and in 1959, the Steins added photographic equipment and supplies to their store.
With new ownership came an immediate change in the format of the store at 135 Church Street and Henry & Company became solely focused on photographic equipment and supplies.
Henry's had six retail stores by the early 1980s, and had expanded into the photofinishing field by making an acquisition of a company called Photo King.
Andrew and his wife, Gaye, founded Cranbrook Glen Enterprises Limited, which became the sole owner of Henry's.
On May 1, 2020, Henry's owners Cranbrook Glen Enterprises announced that it would be seeking protection from creditors as it filed a Notice of Intention to Make a Proposal under the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act.
