- Jack Faris, President of The National Federation of Independent Business (NFIB), quoted while presenting DELSTAR with the National Grand Prize in the prestigious Best Of The West and Best Of America Small Business Award.

Everyone at the DELSTAR Group clearly understands the fundamental principles of a successful enterprise:
    * It takes customers to stay in business... work to get them and keep them
    * It takes value to stay in business... provide the highest possible quality and service and expect a reasonable profit in return
    * It takes innovation to stay in business... strive for the highest standards in merchandising which others will follow
    * It takes partners to stay in business... our vendors and suppliers, our landlords and our community are critical contributors to our success.

DELSTAR's shining inspiration is the creation and operation of a personal and business skills training school for minority employees at the Phoenix home office complex. The result: the spread of growth to others and national recognition for DELSTAR as an innovative leader in minority enterprise issues.
