Dean & DeLuca is a chain of upscale grocery stores. The first one was established in New York City's SoHo district by Joel Dean, Giorgio DeLuca and Jack Ceglic^[1] in September 1977. It is headquartered in Wichita, Kansas.

Locations

Giorgio DeLuca, a school teacher turned cheese merchant, and Joel Dean, a publishing business manager, opened the first Dean & DeLuca in September 1977 in SoHo, an area in lower Manhattan, at the corner of Prince and Greene streets. In October 1988, a new flagship market was opened at the corner of Broadway and Prince Streets.^[2] Smaller retail outlets followed in Manhattan’s Rockefeller Plaza and in the Paramount Hotel. Espresso Bars are also located around New York and in Washington, D.C.

Dean & DeLuca currently operates a number of locations, both full markets as well as cafe setups, in New York City, Charlotte, North Carolina, Leawood, Kansas, Wichita, Kansas, Napa Valley, California, Washington D.C., Tokyo, Seoul, Bangkok, Dubai, Kuwait, Philippines and Singapore. Major retail locations often offer catering services within their local area.

Dean & DeLuca uses a license structure in foreign markets. Dean & DeLuca opened its first international location in Tokyo in 2003 with Itochu Dean & Deluca Japan (11 locations, in 2 cities, including MahaNakhon in Bangkok in July 2011 and Orchard Central in Singapore in June 2012). In 2007, they signed their second license with M.H. Alshaya Co. Middle East (4 locations, including a flagship location in Kuwait City in 2009, Villagio Mall in Doha, Qatar in May 2010, and 2 locations in Dubai). In 2010, Dean & DeLuca signed additional license agreements with Pace Development Thailand (3 locations), Shinsagae Korea (2 locations), and Mekassa Turkey.
