Guess & Co. Overview

Guess & Co. commenced operations in August of 2017. We were founded by Jerry D. Guess, a successful entrepreneur and businessman, who is also committed to philanthropy. He noticed that there was something wrong with rural communities having double digit poverty despite government resources and incentives for communities to thrive. Together with other business professionals, lawyers, retired federal government officials, and retired federal la w enforcement, he launched Guess & Co. to focus on revitalizing, developing and serving Rural America as its primary focus. Guess & Co. is the only company in the United States that has a business focused on doing this. Our market consists of approximately 40 states and 1,200 counties with a focus on the Midwest. We are based in Leawood, Kansas.
