Mangy Moose

What Mangy Moose does

The Mangy Moose is a privately held, multi-concept hospitality business operating continuously since 1967 from a single location at the base of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort in Teton Village, Wyoming. The business operates four integrated on-site concepts: the Restaurant (full-service dinner featuring game meats and steaks), the Saloon (world-famous apres-ski bar with two full bars and live music), the Cafe & Bar (Mexican-inspired breakfast and lunch), and the Market & Cellars (specialty grocer and liquor store carrying 325+ wines, craft beer, spirits, grab-n-go items, and house products). The company also runs a Private Events program accommodating 25 to 475 guests across four distinct spaces, a Live Music program with free and ticketed headlining shows, and a branded merchandise line sold via Shopify online and on-site.

Revenue is generated through unit-pricing transactions across all concepts, with restaurant entrees priced $24-$50, saloon draft beers $6-$11, cocktails $12-$17, and merchandise ranging from $5 to $174.90. Branded consumer packaged goods, including a signature Spicy Marg canned cocktail distributed to liquor stores throughout Jackson Hole and a house-distilled vodka made with Rocky Mountain water, extend the brand beyond the venue. Distribution channels are exclusively direct: walk-in traffic at the physical venue, OpenTable reservations, Toast Tab to-go ordering, Prekindle ticketing, and Shopify e-commerce. The customer base is highly distributed across Jackson Hole Mountain Resort visitors (primary), local residents, and private event bookers, with no enterprise contracts or anchor accounts.

The technology stack is composed of standard hospitality SaaS platforms (Shopify, Toast Tab, OpenTable, Prekindle). The business is owned by David Yoder (since 2001) along with Richard Linder and Lane LaMure (since 2020). The company operates with a stated headcount of 11, consistent with a lean operation that likely relies on seasonal staffing for the resort's high-traffic winter and summer seasons.

Revenue model

1. Food & Beverage Sales (Restaurant, Saloon, Cafe): The core revenue driver — dining room, saloon bar, and cafe generate food and beverage sales across multiple dayparts. The restaurant serves dinner daily (5pm–9:30pm), the saloon operates 11am–close, and the cafe serves breakfast and lunch. Menu pricing ranges from shareables ($12–$23) to premium entrees ($32–$50). Draft beer partnerships with regional breweries (Odell, Melvin, Big Sky, Grand Teton, Roadhouse) and a curated cocktail program including the signature Spicy Margarita.
2. Private Event Venue Rental: The venue rents out multiple distinct event spaces (Full Buyout, The Saloon, The Restaurant, The Patio) for weddings, receptions, corporate dinners, birthday parties, and other celebrations. Accommodates 25 to 475 guests depending on space. Revenue generated through space rental fees, food and beverage minimums, and event planning coordination.
3. Merchandise (E-commerce & In-Store): Branded merchandise including apparel (T-shirts, hoodies, outerwear, hats), accessories (koozies, flasks, tumblers, coffee mugs, ornaments, playing cards), and specialty items. Sold through the Shopify storefront (online) and in-person at the Merch Shop on the first floor. Prices range from $5 (koozie) to $174.90 ('67 Puff Jacket). The Spicy Marg canned cocktail and house-distilled Mangy Moose Vodka are also sold as consumer packaged goods.
4. Market & Cellars (Grocery & Packaged Goods): The on-site market stocks groceries, snacks, beer, wine, liquor, and specialty items. Carries 325+ wines, canned cocktails, house-distilled vodka, grab-n-go items (pizzas, sandwiches, pastries), and a range of household and personal care products. Generates revenue from packaged goods sales to walk-in customers.
5. Live Music & Ticketed Events: Free live music is offered daily during summer and winter seasons. Ticketed shows feature national headliners (e.g., Shovels & Rope). Revenue is generated through ticket sales via Prekindle, drink sales during shows, and the spillover effect on food and merchandise purchases.
