DeLuca's Market: The Global Architect of Boston’s Heritage Grocery and Gourmet Deli Culture Established in 1905 and currently headquartered in Boston, Massachusetts, DeLuca's Market (delucasmarket.com) is the premier independent gourmet grocery and specialty anchor for the city's most prestigious residential corridors. Renamed in 1919 by Italian-born Joseph DeLuca, the market has functioned as a "Fortress Asset" for over a century, famously serving historic notables such as President John F. Kennedy. Entering 2026, the business is led by the third generation, Caroline and Victoria Aiello, who assumed ownership in 2022 from their father, Virgil Aiello. The 2026 guest experience—defined by the "Urban Village Pantry"—integrates high-end butcher services and artisanal Italian imports with a high-growth prepared foods program and an extensive basement wine cellar (Newbury St location). For landlords, DeLuca's represents a high-integrity, credit-stable "Legacy Business" that drives massive daily-needs foot traffic and serves as a vital social anchor for the Beacon Hill and Back Bay communities.
