Naperville's My Chef Catering owners sell company to key employees

After nearly 30 years at the helm, My Chef Catering owners Bill and Karen Garlough announced they have sold their company to three key employees who will carry the business into the next generation.

Longtime employees Director of Catering Sales Dominick Scafidi, Executive Chef Mark Walter and Accountant Megan Rousonelos became the owners of the company.

The Garlough's founded My Chef Catering 28 years ago in Naperville and built the business into a large catering company in the western suburbs. All three new owners have been with My Chef for the past 10 to 20 years.

My Chef has been repeatedly recognized for their business excellence and dedication to their community. They were named The U.S. Chamber of Commerce Small Business of 2007, have been repeatedly recognized by top online wedding industry sites including The Knot and Wedding Wire, and recently won Naperville Magazine's Best Caterers for 2016.

"Our goals when we founded My Chef were to create a quality-minded business, provide a stable and respectful environment for our employees and to be actively involved in our community," said Bill Garlough. "The final chapter is to turn over the reins to the people that helped build the business by providing quality food and services to our community."

The owners believe the transition will be smooth. "Since the new owners have been in My Chef's employ for many years, the customer service transition will be seamless," said Karen Garlough. "I am confident that the business and customers are in good hands with these three seasoned and dedicated employees."
