Founded by Harold and Jack Berkowitz in Bridgeport in 1956, the company is privately owned and operated by Duchess Worldwide, Inc., based in Milford, Connecticut.

On May 31, 1981 while responding to the report of a burglary at Duchess' Darien location, Officer Kenneth Bateman of the Darien Police department was killed. The suspect escaped and remains at large. Bateman’s murder remains the only unsolved killing of a Connecticut cop on record.

In 2015, Darien authorities offered a $100,000 reward for information about the murder.
