JNR Group, LLC is a private holding company located in Chicago. We acquire and operate essential service businesses that generate stable income and long-term value. Our strategy centers on buying businesses that are often overlooked—laundromats, rental properties, and neighborhood services, and turning them into well-run, cash-producing assets.
We’re not a venture firm. We don’t do hype. We’re focused on operational fundamentals, disciplined growth, and intergenerational wealth-building.
Our Vision
To build a portfolio of small businesses and properties that:
Serve everyday people
Generate predictable income
Create opportunities for ownership and equity
Are held—not flipped—for the long term
