101 Studios founders are negotiating a lease to establish a new restaurant concept within the Walsh development. This venture marks the latest expansion for the studio leadership into the Texas hospitality sector.
Why it matters
The studio aims to integrate hospitality projects with its physical production sites and real estate assets. This strategy allows the company to repurpose physical sets rather than demolishing them while growing its regional portfolio.
SGS Studios operates a 450,000-square-foot production site in AllianceTexas and is developing a second Cattlemen's Steakhouse location in Weatherford. The firm also holds property at the Isis Theater, which closed in 2023 following $5.3 million in loan defaults.
The players
Taylor Sheridan
He is an American filmmaker and a co-owner of the historic Four Sixes Ranch in Guthrie.
101 Studios
This production company is led by founders who are currently diversifying into the Texas hospitality market.
SGS Studios
The company operates a large production site in AllianceTexas and manages various hospitality and restaurant projects.
The details
The studio leadership, including Taylor Sheridan and David Glasser, is pursuing this lease to anchor a new food brand. They intend to eventually scale this restaurant concept across multiple locations in addition to their current hospitality holdings.
Timeline
The Isis Theater closed in 2023 due to loan defaults.
SGS Supper Club acquired the Isis Theater property in December 2025.
The restaurant project is expected to launch within the next six months.
An official announcement is expected around mid-2027.
Culture Shift
This project follows the $1.5 billion state funding framework provided by the Texas Moving Image Industry Incentive Program over a decade. By linking film production to hospitality, the studio is moving away from traditional media business models toward an integrated lifestyle and real estate ecosystem.
Residents in the Walsh development can anticipate the arrival of a new dining destination within the next six months. This project could eventually lead to more hospitality options in the Fort Worth area as the studio scales its concept.
The takeaway
The studio's move highlights an emerging trend of media production companies diversifying their business models through property development. Local diners should monitor the project's progress as the studio prepares for a broader rollout of its restaurant brand.
