Delaware North settling into new downtown HQ

Chris Caya WBFO News

Delaware North is settling into its new world headquarters in Buffalo's Entertainment District.

The company's 350 local employees began moving in to the 12-story glass walled building at Delaware Ave. and W. Chippewa St. in November.

Lou Jacobs, Delaware North's co-CEO, says the move is exciting, especially with the company marking its 100th anniversary this year.

"It was never a question of leaving the city. It was just a question of where in the city. And that sort of prominent location to us is terrific because for the first time the company sort of got a high profile in this city and our name on the side of a big building.  So it's exciting for us," Jacobs said.  

Along with Class A office space, the building will also contain a hospitality training facility, a 120-room Westin Hotel, parking for about 600 vehicles and retail space.

Delaware North is a global leader in hospitality and food service and employs about 55,000 associates worldwide.
