Wend Management

The Worcester Restaurant Group, founded by the Ahlquist family in 1979, has been a cornerstone of Worcester's culinary scene, starting with The Sole Proprietor, which gained national acclaim for its exceptional seafood. Expanding its offerings over the years, the group introduced 111 Chop House in 1999 and VIA in 2007, providing a diverse range of dining experiences from high-quality steaks to Italian-American cuisine.

Niche Hospitality Group creates restaurants that have specific appeal and strong identities with signature food and beverage items. We develop food, wine and cocktail menus that are not only specific to a concept, but are unsurpassed in quality and selection. We use these menu items, our atmosphere, our commitment to service and most importantly, enlightened hospitality, to deliver a memorable experience. At Niche we believe there are several crucial points that distinguish a successful restaurant and bar, none more or less important than the others, and all contributing to the reputation. Hospitality, at its very core, is a combination of these crucial points. Our commitment to these standards of hospitality allows us to produce the restaurants of choice for our guests.
