Dean and Deluca Is Closing Its Stores

I'll go against the grain here and say that I absolutely loved Dean and Delucas when I found one when I was living in Tokyo last year. Yeah the packaged goods were super obnoxiously priced but the hot prepared food was very very good and was priced in line with anything else in that general area(maybe $10 for a lunch).

Some of the best pastries I've ever had from a chain bakery. F

I'm not sure about this, but it seems that the Japanese Dean and DeLuca is just a Japanese company owning and operating the brand under license or joint venture. This is how a lot of foreign brands enter Japan (for example, Taco Bell and Baskin Robbins), and why many remain even when the original company more or less goes under (for example, Mister Donut). I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being the same.
