Our Story
The Rababy Family & United Concessions Group
Founded in 1979 by Joe & Hayat Rababy, United Concessions Group is a 100% family-owned & operated business now led by multiple generations of the Rababy family.
What began in airports has grown into a multi-location hospitality platform across the Midwest, built on disciplined growth, strong partnerships, & a commitment to delivering exceptional guest experiences.
At the center of that growth is Hayat Rababy’s legacy. Her lifelong career in airports shaped a culture rooted in service, resilience, & accountability. That foundation continues to guide the next generations as they expand the business with energy, innovation, & a forward-looking approach.
Today, UCG operates year-round in high-demand environments, bringing together national brands, proprietary concepts, & operational expertise to deliver consistent, high-quality experiences for guests & partners alike.
While the business has evolved, the philosophy has not.
Take care of people. Deliver on the opportunity. Earn trust every day.
That commitment, established in 1979, remains the standard today.
Thank you for being part of our story.
