Teton Ridge, a Western entertainment media firm, expands in Fort Worth Stockyards
Teton Ridge, the Western media and entertainment company, is slated to be the Fort Worth Stockyards’ newest office tenant.
Teton Ridge is finishing work on 14,000 square feet of offices and broadcast studios in the Armour building, according to permits filed with the state on Thursday. The project is expected to cost about $4.2 million and be completed in December.
Teton Ridge did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
The company purchased the Cowboy Channel, a Western broadcaster based at 130 E. Exchange Ave., in November 2024. That office has “become the de facto home of Teton Ridge” Fort Worth Inc. reported in February.
Teton Ridge also owns a number of entertainment and sports brands including Cowboys and Indians magazine, The American Rodeo and Ridge Riders, a rodeo team that competes on the Professional Bull Riders circuit.
Located at 601 E. Exchange Ave., the Armour building is one of the Stockyards’ most iconic structures. Perched atop a hill at the end of the historic district’s main thoroughfare, the building is one of the last remaining remnants of the once-massive Swift and Armour meatpacking plants.
U.S. Energy Development Corp. purchased the Armour building in 2022. The company has since renovated the three-story building and relocated its headquarters from an Arlington office tower. Fort Worth-based architect Bennet Partners designed the restoration. U.S. Energy occupies almost half of the 54,000 square foot property.
A growing office market is emerging in the Stockyards. Professional Bull Riders relocated its headquarters to Mule Alley offices in August. Tech company Simpli.fi has been based in Mule Alley since 2020.
Teton Ridge is a subsidiary of TWG Global, a holding company that owns businesses across a range of industries.
