Early this year, DN reshuffled its top management as longtime CEO Jeremy Jacobs Sr., stepped aside in favor of sons Louis and Jeremy Jr., who will now serve as co-CEOs. Also, President/COO Charles Moran has announced his retirement at the end of 2015.

Earlier, the company announced a new brand identity and logo as Delaware North as it celebrates its 100th anniversary this year.

Significant initiatives over the past year included a major renovation of Boston’s TD Garden arena, which the company owns, a new contract with the National Park Service at the Grand Canyon, a new mega food court at Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson Airport that includes a unit of rap star Jay Z’s 40/40 Club sports bar concept, the unveiling of the Original Farmers Market retail emporium at Los Angeles International Airport and the completion of a deal to acquire a majority interest in the Patina Restaurant Group.
