J Group Corp., headed by Shudh Prakash Singh and his son Sartaj Singh, which acquired the Holiday Inn Plainview Long Island, in June 2024, for $21 million, held its ‘Grand Opening” with a ribbon-cutting ceremony and reception that was attended by some high-profile guests. The hotel is an iconic landmark located on the Long Island Expressway Service Road, Exit 46. The property has been extensively renovated since being acquired.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony was held on January 26, 2025, to make it coincide with India’s 76th Republic Day. Close to 200 people came to celebrate the opening.

“We are making a lot of changes. We have renovated the restaurant, bar, banquet and meeting space. Our goal is to give the best amenities to guests out of any hotel on Long Island with the most competitive rates,” Shudh Singh and Sartaj Singh are quoted saying at the event.

A number of town officials joined in for the ribbon cutting, among them Congressman Tom Suozzi, D-NY, Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman, Comptroller of New York State Tom DiNapoli, Chairman of Nassau County Republican Party Joseph Cairo, Supervisor of Town of Oyster Bay Joseph Saladino, and Mayor of Glen Cove Pamela Panzenbeck.

“On behalf of all the residents of Nassau County, I want to congratulate you and wish you prosperity and good health. May god bless us all and God bless America,” Blakeman said at the event.

Since the hotel is only minutes away from all the temples, gurdwaras, mosques, churches and the town of Hicksville, which is referred to popularly as “Little India,” the company believes it is well-positioned to be a useful facility for the Indian Americans and the diverse communities, planning to host events or stay at the hotel.
