On the business front, Kelce has teamed up with Chiefs QB Patrick Mahomes to open a steakhouse in Kansas City called 1587 Prime. The duo aims to bring a unique dining experience to the city, combining their love for food and football. Additionally, Kelce and his brother have become investors, owners, and operators of Garage Beer, a brand based in Ohio.
In the entertainment industry, Kelce has also launched his own music festival, featuring renowned artists like Machine Gun Kelly, Diplo, 2 Chainz, and Lil Wayne.
