Since 2010
Loyola Led Enterprises is Loyola’s undergraduate student-run business enterprise comprised of four businesses: The Flats at Loyola Station, Ireland’s Pub. Established in 2010, we have grossed over $4.1 million dollars in revenue, managed over $3.2 million dollars in university assets and remain actively involved in various forms of community engagement.
Our History
Seven students had the vision of starting a student-run business at Loyola University Chicago. After crafting a business plan, it was passed to an entrepreneurship MBA class at Loyola's Quinlan School of Business as a case study. The students pitched the plan to the university and later assumed responsibility for a $3.2 million asset and launched the first student-run guesthouse in the nation. In 2010, The Flats at Loyola Station opened its doors.
Loyola Led Enterprises was created in tandem with its first business venture to serve as a holding company for future student-run businesses. Strictly undergraduate, Loyola Led Enterprises is charged with the initiative to create experiential learning opportunities rooted in creativity, innovation, and entrepreneurship. We achieve this by empowering students to start and manage their own businesses.
