Hospitality
RESTAURANT DEVELOPMENT: We believe in giving people more than they can imagine and everything we’ve got, so we only serve up the same quality, value, and respect we give our own families. It’s why we take time to listen and do more than people expect. Since 1996, Greer Companies has developed and operated 45 Cheddar’s Casual Cafe Restaurants with operating revenues in excess of $200 million, and in January 2017 sold its restaurant operations to Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen and subsequently Darden. Greer Companies has developed several independent restaurant concepts (Coba Cocina, Cobar Cantina, Cocoh! Confectioner and Willie’s Locally Known) and has invested in other local Lexington restaurant concepts such as Honeywood, Vinaigrette Salad Kitchen and Corto Lima.
HOTELS: We are proud to be a franchisee of Hilton, Marriott, and the Intercontinental Hotel Group. Conveniently located in cities and towns in the South, our hotels provide a comfortable haven, exceptional value, and service rivaled by the only other place in the world we recommend: home
