History

According to the official website, "Deyuelou" was founded during the Jiajing era of the Ming dynasty, located at Yefangbang mouth, Bantang, Huqiu, Suzhou, and was built by Prefect Sheng Pingzhou, giving it a history of more than four hundred years. It was restored on April 25, 1982, and relocated to Taijian Lane in the bustling center of Suzhou. In 2003, through deepened restructuring, it was established as Suzhou Deyuelou Catering Co., Ltd. "Deyuelou" is the registered trademark of Suzhou Deyuelou Catering Co., Ltd., with registered capital of 13.95 million RMB. The brand states it has gathered renowned chefs, possesses strong technical strength, inherits Suzhou-style dishes and pastries, and is especially skilled at making boat dishes and boat pastries handed down from the Ming dynasty and the "First Banquet of Wuzhong." The Guanjian store building features white walls and black tiles with upturned eaves, and the three characters "得月楼" were written by Song Richang, former chairman of the Shanghai Calligraphers Association. The storefront building was rated one of Suzhou's top ten buildings in 1986. In 1997 the Guanjian store was rebuilt, adopting the concept of "Gusu garden" interior architecture while retaining elements of the original Deyuelou cultural style. During the Shanghai World Expo, the Shanghai Expo Park store represented Jiangsu cuisine and served as a window image for Suzhou and a platform for Deyuelou to display its brand. The brand states it has protected its time-honored intellectual property since 1993 through trademark registrations and defensive registrations, and filed trademark oppositions against several out-of-town enterprises' preemptive registrations. The "Deyuelou" trademark was among the first batch named "China Time-honored Brand" by the Ministry of Commerce in 2006, and in 2008 was recognized by the Jiangsu Provincial Administration for Industry and Commerce as a "Suzhou Famous Trademark."
