Pride Holdings Group Acquires Historic Club One in Savannah, Preserving LGBTQ+ Landmark

Pride Holdings Group, formerly known as Parliament House Enterprises Inc., has expanded its portfolio with the acquisition of Club One, one of Savannah's most iconic nightlife destinations and a cornerstone of the city's LGBTQ+ community. For over three decades, Club One has been celebrated for its vibrant atmosphere, world-class drag performances, and unwavering commitment to inclusion, making this acquisition particularly significant for cultural preservation.

The club gained international fame through legendary entertainer The Lady Chablis, whose memoir Hiding My Candy and unforgettable role in the bestseller Midnight in the Garden of Good and Evil placed a spotlight on the venue. Michael Barrett, CEO of Pride Holdings Group, emphasized that this acquisition represents more than just business expansion, stating it's about honoring an institution that shaped Savannah's cultural identity. He noted that Club One stands as a landmark of LGBTQ+ history that the company aims to preserve while introducing fresh experiences for new generations of guests.

Under Pride Holdings Group's ownership, Club One will continue showcasing its legendary drag performances and signature events while introducing new programming, upgraded amenities, and expanded community outreach initiatives. Dr. Albert "Bart" Whitehead, Chair of Pride Holdings Group, highlighted the club's historical significance in breaking barriers while building community over the years. The company has committed to ensuring the venue's impact continues for decades to come while maintaining the spirit of joy, laughter, and inclusivity that has defined Club One since its establishment in 1988.

The acquisition immediately places Club One under the Pride Holdings Group banner, with guests experiencing seamless continuity during the transition period. The company has indicated that exciting announcements and enhancements will roll out later this year, though specific details about the new programming and upgrades remain forthcoming.
