Who We Are

Creating memorable experiences, customized for local markets

TMG was built around two simple, yet focused ideas:

To create, deliver and manage compelling, customized restaurant and entertainment concepts tailored to the specific needs of the marketplace

To maximize the profitability for shareholders of retail concerns focusing on product enhancement, sales, management and operating efficiencies.

Trifecta Management Group® (TMG) provides innovative concepts, comprehensive management services, consulting, marketing, training and a wide range of value-added services to the entertainment, restaurant, retail and other industries. The management team has broad and deep experience operating numerous businesses, domestically and internationally, with expertise in all aspects of strategic planning, concept development, project management, marketing & sales, culinary services, training and ongoing operations for all types of restaurant and entertainment destinations.  TMG, through its Trifecta Marketing Services division, has also worked on projects in the filmed entertainment, gourmet grocer, estate planning and insurance industries.

Known for creating some of the industry’s most dynamic concepts and brands, this team is also recognized for delivering superior operational performance and execution, and for structuring “win-win” deals with developers and other partners. TMG works closely with partners to develop unique concepts in formats from 1,000 to 100,000 square feet, providing a compelling anchor to multi-faceted projects or free-standing destinations.

TMG has quickly become recognized for its custom concepts, including plank®, Axis alley®, Coyote Entertainment Center, The Corner Alley®, KDB® (Kitchen, Den, Bar), Zocalo Mexican Grill and Tequileria™, Pizzeria Villagio™, The BLVD, Mic & Moe’s™, Mestizo™ (by Aarón Sánchez), Ten Pin Fun Center  and Uptown Alley®.

Dip Shack

Cowboy Dips & Chips is an original concept, first offered at Northeast Ohio’s famous Cowboy Food & Drink.  This new concept features mouth-watering sandwich Dips and crispy homemade Chips.  While new, the idea of Dips & Chips was years in the making. From original thoughts to reality, the ultimate goal has always been t o create the best, tastiest Dips and Chips offerings around.  After many renditions, taste tests and re-dos, these hearty, tasty Dips and flavored Chips were created, uniquely crafted to satisfy even the most selective palates of modern-day Cowboys and Cowgirls!
