Let us introduce ourselves; we are an experienced team of like-minded dreamers who love people, a good time, and doing good in the world. More technically speaking, Triple Tap Ventures is the operator, owner, developer, licensee, and franchisee of some remarkable Texas brands, restaurants, and entertainment venues, and we are growing every day.
Our current concepts include the trailblazing Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, the mouth-wateringly good Loop 9 BBQ, and The Stand, where American Classics are redefined. Each one is uniquely equipped to deliver a hospitality experience that memories are made of.
In addition to our restaurant development, hospitality management, and entertainment space ventures, we’ve created Triple Tap Publishing to celebrate our team's grander visions and passions. Our first book, Enmascarado: The Masked Luchadores We Love, was conceived and realized by our own Triple Tap Ventures alumni, Robert Saucedo, and designed and illustrated by El Paso native and graphic artist Gabriel Garcia of Barracuda Public Relations. This visual art book contains illustrations of the luchador masks you’ll find at our El Paso location of Alamo Drafthouse, along with fascinating stories behind the luchadors that wore them.
Our People Are Everything.
Our company is a cultivated team of world-class professionals with extensive knowledge and successful track records in restaurant concept development, hospitality management, restaurant franchise operations, entertainment space cultivation, marketing, finance, and real estate. Within every layer of Triple Tap Ventures, we seek kind, loyal, driven, and all-around genuinely good people to build our brands.
We hold to the fact that the values of the people making the decisions flow through the entire business. Pride in who you are, what you do, and what you stand for is the cornerstone of why we exist.
At the helm of our business sits Neil Billingsley-Michaelsen, Chief Executive Officer & President of Triple Tap Ventures. With him, he brought 20 years of corporate finance and management experience but also a strong sense of team-based leadership, a genuine passion for progress, and a love for the artistry found in cinema, culinary pursuits, and the hospitality industry. As a leader, he strives to push the spotlight away from himself and onto the people within Triple Tap and each of the ventures beneath its umbrella.
Triple Tap’s greatest strength is the ability to cultivate high-performing teams of exceptional individuals who love their jobs as much as we love building their careers. From the cashier at The Stand to the grill master at Loop 9 BBQ or the shift manager at Alamo Drafthouse Cinema, each person is a part of Triple Tap Ventures' vision for the future.
Our Mission Is To Serve.
As a franchisee company, we are strategically positioned to explore various business concepts to build brands that align with the core values of who we are. We continue to enjoy our extensive work within the restaurant franchise industry, hospitality management, and entertainment space, but we are also exploring other avenues, such as Triple Tap Publishing.
No matter what concept that flourishes within Triple Tap Ventures, the core of our business is attention to detail with service in mind. From the exceptional people we work with to the quality offerings, one-of-a-kind atmospheres, and tailored elements of each Triple Tap project, we strive to provide memorable, enjoyable, and unique experiences for everyone.
Our Values Are Who We Are.
Built upon the belief in the value of being of service to others, Triple Tap Ventures is always looking for ways to give back to the greater community. We encourage each of our concepts to not only be a hub of hospitality and entertainment within their areas but also find ways to contribute to the people they serve.
One such example is our continued partnership with St. Jude’s Children’s Hospital. At our Alamo Drafthouse Cinema locations, we’ve run hundreds of camp screenings for kids. With the opening of Loop 9 BBQ in Grand Prairie, Texas, we created custom cups for a cause. With every campaign, we’ve given 100% of proceeds directly to St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, where no child is denied treatment based on race, religion, or a family's ability to pay.
At The Stand in the Woodlands, Texas, we encourage local non-profits and charity organizations to host their fundraising campaigns at our location so we can contribute a portion of the proceeds with every purchase.
We can’t say it enough; our core values revolve around people – the people within our company, the people we serve, and the people of our communities. At Triple Tap Ventures, memorable experiences are driven by remarkable people. The bottom line comes second. Our team is our true success.
