Who we are?> Who are we?

– Levy Restaurants is A Family of Passionate Restaurateurs!

> When was the beginning? – In 1978, brothers Larry and Mark Levy expanded beyond their real estate and

insurance roots by investing in D.B. Kaplan's Delicatessen in Chicago's Water Tower Place..

> Where are we now? – Today, as a result of a commitment to an entrepreneurial mindset, Levy Restaurants is

recognized as one of the fastest-growing innovative companies in the industry. We have partnerships in stadiums, arenas, convention centers, zoos, racetracks and music festivals, in every major market and abroad.

"Even though we’ve been around for over 30 years, we live each day with the same values of the family company born with D.B. Kaplan’s Deli in 1978.“

– ANDY LANSING, PRESIDENT & CEO
