John DeCicco
CEO, DeCicco & Sons
John DeCicco Jr. is the CEO of DeCicco & Sons, the family-owned specialty grocery store based in Westchester and Putnam Counties, New York. A second-generation grocer, John Jr. grew up in the business founded by his father and uncle in 1973, when the family opened its first small store in the Woodlawn section of the Bronx. After learning everything he could through working in the stores, John Jr. joined his brother, Chris DeCicco and cousin, Joe DeCicco Jr. in leading the company’s next chapter. In 2005, the business formally became DeCicco & Sons as the first generation brought the second generation into management. John Jr. has since expanded DeCicco & Sons dramatically across the region, becoming widely known as the best supermarket in Westchester. Today, DeCicco & Sons operates eleven stores in Larchmont, Pelham, Millwood, Armonk, Eastchester, Somers, Harrison, Brewster, Bedford, Ardsley, and Sleepy Hollow where their brand-new flagship store is located. They also have two stores slated to open in 2026.
