Graceland Division Inc. Jobs and Profile

Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc.

Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc. (EPE) is the corporate entity that was created by the Elvis Presley Trust to conduct business and manage its assets. EPE was owned by the Elvis Presley Trust/Lisa Marie Presley until 2005.

In February 2005, Robert F.X. Sillerman and his then new media and entertainment company CKX, Inc. acquired an 85% interest in the company Elvis Presley Enterprises, Inc., including its physical and intellectual properties. Lisa Marie Presley retains a 15% ownership in the company and continues to be involved, as does her mother Priscilla. The pre-existing EPE management team remains in place and the company's operations, including the Graceland tour, continue uninterrupted, only with a much brighter future and wider global outreach made possible with the new partnership. EPE is a subsidiary of CKX, Inc., which is a publicly traded company listed on the Nasdaq National Market System (NMS) under the ticker symbol CKXE.

Lisa Marie Presley retains 100% sole personal ownership of Graceland Mansion itself and its over 13-acre original grounds and her father's personal effects - meaning costumes, wardrobe, awards, furniture, cars, etc.. She has made the mansion property and her father's personal effects permanently available for tours of Graceland and for use in all of EPE's operations.

Jack Soden is the Chief Executive Officer of EPE and is based in the Memphis office. Gary Hovey is Executive Vice-President and is based in the Los Angeles office. This top management team is supported by the vice-presidents, directors, managers and staff of the various departments of EPE, including merchandise, worldwide licensing, marketing, media & creative development, sales, accounting, operations, human resources and the various sub-departments within these.

EPE's business extends far beyond the Graceland operation. It includes worldwide licensing of Elvis-related products and ventures, the development of Elvis-related music, film, video, television and stage productions, the ongoing development of EPE's Internet presence, the management of significant music publishing assets and more.
