In 1973, a local Niagara Falls family established the Ritz Motel Ltd., now the Niagara 21st Group Inc., which includes the Marriott Niagara Falls Fallsview Hotel & Spa, the Courtyard by Marriott Niagara Falls, TGI Friday's restaurant, the Keg Steakhouse and Bar, the Terrapin Grille restaurant, Starbucks coffee outlet and C&V Security. "The success of the company is due to the hard work and dedication of all the associates. Teamwork is the road to excellence," says the Chief Operating Officer. The company has proven this to be true since its beginnings in 1973. With over 1600 associates to date, the company is growing with optimism for a strong, successful future. In 2002 the company changed its name to the Niagara 21st Group Inc. which captures the commitment to growth and development into the 21st century. We look forward to a long and prosperous future in the hospitality and tourism industry!
