HUGO'S DELI - Key Persons

Alex Hugo opened his first deli in 1980, "The Original Hugo's Deli" at Overland and 5-Mile in Boise, Id. This location has been in operation for 40 years. Two of Alex's brothers, Jim and Richard Hugo joined him in the business. And over the years as many as 10 locations have operated in the Treasure Valley.

Richard Hugo, who joined Alex and Jim in the early 80's while going to school at ISU would work at the stores on summer breaks to earn extra money. What started as a summer job, turned into a career. He then opened his first location on Broadway Ave. in Boise, ID on April 22, 1991 and ran this location for over 16 years. He then sold this store in October 2006 to work in AutoCAD, in which he had a college degree. After 2 years in AutoCAD, he determined he needed to go back to what he loved and had a passion for. He opened two additional locations in Meridian, ID, the first at 950 E. Fairview. The second, a new concept as an "Express Location" at 6233 N. Linder Rd., along with brother Alex. 2 of Richards's sons, Todd and Corey have since joined the business hoping to contribute and grow as the 2nd generation of Hugo's.
