Kemmons Wilson Companies is a third-generation, single family office established in 1948 by Kemmons Wilson. Most noted for founding Holiday Inns, Kemmons was a serial entrepreneur who never stopped creating or investing in businesses. Having owned, operated or partnered with people in over 400 ventures to date, the third generation helps lead the company today with a concentration in six (6) key industries – aviation, financial services, hotels, insurance, real estate and time sharing but are also open to opportunities outside these areas. We continue to exemplify the same core values, people-first philosophy and long-term perspective that our predecessors instilled.
