Owners, Dena Gebelius and Rochelle Benjamin met in 2008 at the University of Tampa while pursuing their degrees. Unaware at that moment in time, the two would later give life to the idea of DeeShee’s Scandic Catering – Tampa Bay’s very own Scandinavian catering company.

The “Dee” of DeeShee’s

Dena can still remember growing up as a child in Sweden embracing nature as she and her friends played in the forest amongst the trees. Fluent in the Swedish language, she has a deep, profound love and respect for Sweden, the place that she refers to as her second home. Even though she is now many miles away, Dena found that going back to Sweden in 2011 still put a child-like smile on her face as she reflected upon her rich and cultured Swedish upbringing. This experience gave birth to a burning desire to thank the country of Sweden and those who played their individual part in helping her fulfill her dream: DeeShee’s Scandic Catering.

The “Shee” of DeeShee’s

Rochelle was born and raised on the island of St. Croix, the largest island of the U.S. Virgin Islands – which were once a royal Danish colony in 1754. The historical Danish mark still resonates on the island today, from the islands’ street names to Danish influenced historical buildings. On her 2011 visit to Sweden, she has found a new appreciation for the country and its people. During her stay in the outskirts of Norrtälje, she was surrounded by unscathed nature and serenity and, most importantly, she gained a deeper insight of the culture by enjoying the cuisine the country had to offer. Rochelle’s newfound passion for the Scandinavian culture and her ever developing creativity further adds to the birth and life of DeeShee’s.
