Chiefs stars Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce have built a reputation for leadership on the field, but off it, their moves are equally strategic. From charity initiatives to team-driven business projects, both athletes consistently show that success is best shared. Now, with the opening of 1587 Prime Steakhouse, they’re bringing the same camaraderie and team-first mindset to the city’s dining scene.

To begin with, before the steakhouse officially opened, Mahomes and Kelce invited several teammates, including cornerback Trent McDuffie, for an exclusive early visit. Mahomes even re-shared McDuffie’s Instagram story, which included multiple fire emojis. Clearly, this “locker room decision” wasn’t about one player alone. Interestingly, it symbolized the collective spirit of the Chiefs. By inviting multiple teammates, Mahomes and Kelce brought the locker room camaraderie into their new business.
Moreover, their latest move demonstrates their strong commitment to inclusion. Mahomes said, “It’s about bringing everyone together, celebrating our success, and building something lasting.” While Kelce added, “We wanted the team to feel part of this from day one—it’s not just our steakhouse, it’s ours together.” Historically, both have included teammates in charity and business initiatives. This move continues that tradition.

Moreover, it mirrors the team culture that Mahomes and Kelce champion on the field. Leadership, friendship, and ambition extend into business and community impact. Hence, in short, 1587 Prime isn’t just a restaurant. From the locker room invite to the sold-out opening, it celebrates teamwork, leadership, and entrepreneurship at every level. Whether through fire emoji-filled Instagram stories or a carefully crafted menu, Mahomes and Kelce are showing that success is best when shared; on the field, in business, and with the city they love.
