History

Established in 1967.

Ron Peskin, born in Cleveland, Ohio in 1941, virtually grew up behind the deli counter. Upon moving to California at the age of five, he spent countless hours working for his uncle's deli and other local markets in the San Fernando Valley. Then, in 1969, Ron and his wife Patricia bought a quaint but failing establishment in Northridge. "For 18 months I never took a day off," Ron said, reminiscing. "I made every sandwich. I wanted each one to be perfect." Today that same establishment, Brent's Deli, is the best delicatessen and restaurant in the nation.

Business Owner

Ron Peskin was born in Clveland, Ohio in 1941 and came to California five years later. After working for many years behind a deli counter for his uncles and at various delis in the San Fernando Valley, he was offered a management position with an existing, but failing deli in Northridge. He respectfully declined the position, so the owner proposed he buy the business, bad debt and all . With close to no money and a lot of advice against the purchase, Ron and his wife Patricia forged into a new business in 1969 with all of 11 employees and one delivery truck. Funny thing, they had a son whose name is also Brent, so the deli kept its name. "For eighteen months I never took a day off," Ron recalls. "I made every sandwich. I wanted every one to be perfect." Ron is now joined by his son Brent, daughter Carie and son-in-law Marc, whose hands-on approach has helped grow Brent's Deli into the # 1 Delicatessen and Restaurant in the nation, with delivery anywhere in Southern California.
