Grand Circle Corporation
Built around a simple but powerful idea: exceptional service creates lasting loyalty.
Originally founded in 1958 and acquired by Alan and Harriet Lewis in 1985, Grand Circle Corporation became the foundation for a broader philosophy that would later shape Kensington Investment Company itself. Built on the belief that exceptional service creates lasting loyalty, the company developed a culture centered around human connection, operational excellence, curiosity, and care. Those principles continue to influence how the Lewis family approaches business, leadership, and long-term stewardship today.
