Shailesh started this company 30 years ago when he purchased his first hotel in Blue Earth, MN. Due to its proximity to high traffic areas and a major interstate, the hotel did well and allowed him to expand his operations to another hotel in Blue Earth. With the success of both properties, Shailesh purchased his first property in South Dakota in 2000.
From that point on, he’s been able to expand to multiple states in the Midwest including Iowa and Minnesota. Recently he expanded in the Northeast, specifically Connecticut with his first property opening in 2019 and continuing to expand further in the Northeastern region.
