Coyote Drive-In

What Coyote Drive-In does

Coyote Drive-In is a single-location outdoor entertainment venue operating on a 20+ acre site at 223 NE 4th Street in Fort Worth, Texas, combining a multi-screen drive-in movie theater with a full-service canteen, private event hosting, and ancillary amenities. The core product is outdoor film screening delivered via laser film projection with FM-radio audio broadcast; tickets are sold per person at $8 for children aged 5-12, $11 for adults aged 13 and older, and free for children four and under, with a military/civil service discount available at the box office and a $6 portable radio rental for in-car audio. The company serves two primary customer segments: local Fort Worth families and individuals seeking an outdoor movie-and-dining experience (the dominant segment), and private event organizers booking corporate events, birthday parties, and rallies for groups ranging from 15 to over 1,000 guests.

The business generates revenue across four streams: ticket sales, food and beverage concessions (including a full bar with craft beer and wine, made-to-order pizzas, burgers, wagyu sliders, and assorted snacks), radio rentals, and private event rental fees. Concession orders can be placed via QR code and delivered directly to numbered parking spaces through third-party platforms FanFood and H1POS, while advance tickets are sold through the company website and app, and walk-up sales are processed at the box office. Ancillary revenue and amenity-driven foot traffic come from weekend live music programming, rotating locally-owned food trucks, a third-party Frazil slushie trailer on premises, free retro arcade games, a kids playground, and a pet-friendly policy.

Operationally, Coyote Drive-In is a privately held company with 19 employees, no disclosed funding history, no parent company, and no public listing. The company owns no subsidiaries and has no disclosed M&A activity. GTM motion is direct-to-consumer through the physical venue plus an e-commerce ticketing storefront, with marketing driven by organic social media, community events, and an email newsletter rather than paid advertising channels. The address on the website footer reads 223 NE 4th Street while an internal block lists 23 NE 4th Street; the Google/Apple Maps-anchored 223 NE 4th Street, Fort Worth, TX 76164 address is treated as authoritative.

Direct peers

• Flix Brewhouse: Dine-in cinema concept pairing first-run films with craft beer and full menu service. Highly comparable to Coyote's cinema-plus-F&B positioning, though indoor and multi-site.
• Blue Starlite Drive-In: Small-format drive-in cinema concept operating multiple boutique locations in Texas and other U.S. markets. Directly comparable to Coyote on outdoor exhibition, laser projection, and intimate local-community positioning.
• Coyote Theaters (other locations): Likely sibling locations under the same Coyote Theaters brand based on the [email protected] email domain. If other Coyote theaters exist, they are direct peers in the same brand and operating model.

Emerging players

• Rooftop Cinema Club: Premium outdoor rooftop movie screening concept operating in multiple U.S. cities with food and beverage service. Comparable on outdoor exhibition, F&B bundling, and differentiated experiential positioning.
• EVO Entertainment: Texas-based entertainment concept combining movies, bowling, and food/beverage in a single venue. Comparable as a multi-attraction family entertainment operator in the same regional market as Coyote.

Broad incumbents

• Cinemark Holdings: Large publicly traded cinema operator with extensive U.S. and Latin American footprint. Comparable as a major exhibition incumbent competing for the same consumer entertainment spend.
• B&B Theatres: Large U.S. family-owned cinema chain operating indoor multiplexes across multiple states. Comparable on private/family ownership and movie exhibition focus, though indoor format and multi-location footprint differ.
• AMC Theatres: Largest U.S. movie theater chain. Comparable as the dominant incumbent in motion picture exhibition, with much broader scale, indoor multiplex operations, and corporate resources.
• Alamo Drafthouse Cinema: Major dine-in theater chain combining first-run film exhibition with full-service food and beverage. Highly comparable on the cinema-plus-F&B model that Coyote replicates in an outdoor drive-in format.

Regional players

• Sundance Drive-In: Independent drive-in theater operator. Comparable as a regional single-format cinema operator competing in outdoor exhibition, though serving a different geographic market than Coyote.
