The Fifty/50 Group, initially established with the goal of buying a small property and opening a restaurant in Chicago’s Wicker Park area, has seen remarkable growth since its inception in 2008. It has now developed, managed, and consulted on over 30 unique restaurant, bar, and cannabis ventures, spread across more than 25 locations in the Midwest and New York.

As the group looks to expand its consulting division, they’ve now acquired Korgen Hospitality. The Fifty/50 Group has worked with Korgen Hospitality previously for specific projects with very measurable KPIs, because even established hospitality groups need an expert consultant to achieve a desired outcome within a specific timeframe. Positive outcomes, shared methodology, and a belief in the same core values became the formation of the Group’s consulting division and partnership.

Under the guidance of Ken McGarrie, Fifty/50 Group Consulting team draws from extensive experience in the hospitality sector to collaborate with a variety of clients, helping them tackle their most pressing challenges and seize opportunities. Clients who work with Fifty/50 Group Consulting benefit from the expertise of not only the Leadership Team but also from a network of operators across various ventures, who bring specialized skills in strategic planning, operational management, and leadership training.
