Workplace: Ashby Hospitality Group
As president and co-owner of Ashby Hospitality Group in Newark, Marc Ashby oversees multiple McGlynns Pub locations as well as the historic Deer Park Tavern in downtown Newark and Cantwell’s Tavern in Odessa. He and his wife, Sandy, founded the company over 35 years ago as a single restaurant. Since then, the business has grown to one that employs over 200 people at operations throughout Delaware as well as nearby Pennsylvania and Maryland, in part thanks to the catering offered by The Roaming Raven food truck. In 2024, the Ashby Hospitality Group added Stanley’s Tavern in the Brandywine Hundred to its portfolio.
