Among the qualities for which Delaware North
is most respected is its financial stability. Despite
a weak global economy, the company again
met its financial objectives and finished 2009
with more than $2 billion in revenue. With
200 locations in seven market sectors that are
served by 50,000 associates around the world,
Delaware North is one of the largest privately

Delaware North was able to take advantage of a
buyer’s market and its own financial standing to

prestigious, one-of-a-kind resorts in Australia,
giving the company a lodging foothold there.
In addition, it was able to make the necessary
financial commitments to win important new
business at the New Meadowlands Stadium and
