McKinney, Texas Success Story: High Growth Market Opportunities

At GRP Capital, we take pride in helping our clients turn their business visions into reality. Recently, we had the pleasure of working with experienced entrepreneurs ready to leverage their hospitality expertise in McKinney, Texas—a rapidly growing city with immense potential.

Located just north of Dallas, McKinney stands out as a unique and thriving location. McKinney’s population has doubled in the past 20 years, far outpacing many other metropolitan areas. McKinney offers significant opportunities for businesses looking to grow. This is due to its proximity to a major urban area combined with its strong local economy.

Our clients identified an upper midscale hotel property in this high-growth area and envisioned taking over operations through a turnkey transaction. Their plan included reflagging the property and driving revenue growth almost immediately.

Rick Patel, GRP Capital President, commented, “These clients were motivated and had done extensive research on the McKinney market and this specific property. The deal was complex but our lender network and the SBA were equally enthusiastic about funding a project in such a dynamic area. Ultimately, we secured funding through the SBA 504 program. This loan offers competitive rates and long-term stability for projects like this.”

How to Identify High-Growth Markets Like McKinney:

• Analyze recent and historical trends. Study population growth, housing trends and employment opportunities in the area. Is the region expanding or stabilizing? For hospitality businesses, consider whether the local demographics support activities like sports tournaments or large group events. Look for nearby attractions that could drive additional traffic to your business.

• Assess Business-Friendliness. Investigate how supportive the local government is to new business ventures. Are business licenses easy to obtain? What zoning restrictions might you face? A business-friendly environment can significantly impact your ability to operate efficiently.

• Evaluate Workforce Availability:  Hiring and retaining quality employees is essential for success. Ensure that there is an adequate local labor pool to meet your staffing needs. Additionally, consider whether hourly workers to live nearby or if long commutes might pose a challenge.
