As the Kansas City Chiefs prepare for their upcoming NFL season, star players Travis Kelce and Patrick Mahomes are also launching a new business venture. Their joint project, 1587 Prime, a modern steakhouse in downtown Kansas City, is scheduled to open on September 17.
Partnership Between Two Kansas City Icons Brings 1587 Prime to Life
Announced earlier this year, 1587 Prime is a collaboration between the three-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback Mahomes and his longtime All-Pro tight end Kelce. The restaurant is designed to be a contemporary steakhouse that embodies the spirit of Kansas City, creating a unique dining experience for fans and locals alike.
On Monday, the official opening date was revealed, drawing widespread enthusiasm from the community. Kelce expressed his excitement with a simple but energetic comment:
“Let’s go KC!!!”
—Travis Kelce, NFL Tight End. Mahomes chimed in, noting the remarkable coincidence that the opening day coincides with his 30th birthday, teasing:
“30th Birthday Party?!?!”
—Patrick Mahomes, Kansas City Chiefs Quarterback.
A New Chapter Comes as the Chiefs Aim for Championship Glory
The arrival of 1587 Prime adds a fresh dimension to what promises to be a landmark season for the Chiefs. At age 35, Kelce has chosen to continue playing, quelling retirement rumors that circulated after the team’s tough loss to the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl last season. Many fans are viewing 2025 as potentially his final year on the field.
Kickoff for both the restaurant and the new season could not be timelier, with Mahomes and Kelce still serving as the central figures of the franchise. Their synergy—both athletically and through ventures like 1587 Prime—showcases the fusion of Kansas City’s rich culture and their championship pedigree.
The announcement has generated a strong response from supporters eager to visit this star-studded steakhouse, which aims to marry Kansas City’s culinary heritage with high-quality dining and community pride. The timing, aligned with the NFL‘s season surge and Mahomes’ milestone birthday, adds an extra layer of excitement to the launch.
