We passionately manage places of hospitality with an eye for operational efficiency and a genuine desire to elevate experience.
OUR HISTORY In 1926, our founders Jack and Marvin McKibbon felt that their community of Gainesville, Georgia, would be a better place if it had its very own self-service grocery store. Determined entrepreneurs, the McKibbon brothers opened a Piggy Wiggly franchise in their town. It was a small, but impactful beginning for the McKibbon name; one that Jack McKibbon decided to build on 20 years later by developing the area’s first motor court, complete with a full-service restaurant. This idea spurred the company’s evolution. By the 1960s, the company had become one of the earliest Holiday Inn franchisees, with hotels in operation throughout the state of Georgia. Hotel development and management became the core focus and have been ever since. Since taking over in the early 90s, John McKibbon III has continued the tradition, leading an ever-growing portfolio.
OUR GUIDING PRINCIPLES Think bigger. Being an industry leader means finding better, more innovative ways to serve our partners, guests, and communities. Love your community. As hotel builders, owners, and managers, we are not just hotel brand ambassadors – we are city ambassadors. We believe in the communities we serve. It’s a big part of why we choose to do business there. Do the right thing. Our commitment to quality and integrity mean we’re not satisfied with “good enough” or “we’ll fix it later.” We invest our time, energy and resources into delivering heartfelt solutions. Support each other. The way we treat our work family serves as the foundation for how we do business. Be good to each other, and business will be good to us. Make a lasting impression. Above all, it’s how you are remembered that will stand the test of time. Every interaction is an opportunity to go above and beyond. Make it count.
From each thoughtful business partnership to the personal detail of a guest’s experience, hospitality starts here.

We go about our daily rituals with purpose and the understanding that every interaction reflects your brand and influences the guest experience. We believe people are the heart of a hotel’s culture.

Every project has a story.
OUR EXPERIENCE Each story has a “what,” a “why” and a “how.” The best way to explain our value and experience to potential partners, brands, and vendors is to simply show them our work. We are happy to share a few of our favorite success stories with you.

FOOD & BEVERAGE
The kitchen is the heart of the home — and in today’s foodie-conscious culture, it’s often the heart of a hotel. Food and beverage trends are continuously evolving, and we’ve helped many of our world-class hotel partners position themselves as trendy neighborhood dining destinations, not merely a convenient dining option for hotel guests.

When seeking professional management for our hotel properties, McKibbon Hospitality quickly became our first choice. In addition to their innovative style and stellar performance record in the hospitality industry, we were very impressed with their philosophy of putting people first.
It is obvious that the McKibbon organization measures success not only in terms of profitability, but also in terms of the positive relationships they build with their guests, employees, associates and the local community as evidenced by their many charitable endeavers.
