Alamo Drafthouse invades Movie Tavern's turf with North Richland Hills location

You will remember the Alamo Drafthouse, because lately they're popping up everywhere. In addition to recent/upcoming locations in Lake Highlands, Las Colinas and Denton, Alamo has just announced a location in North Richland Hills. It is expected to open in 2019 and will be the first Alamo Drafthouse in Tarrant County.

Alamo Drafthouse DFW chief operating officer Bill DiGaetano told us recently that Tarrant County was one of his focuses for the future, and he re-emphasized that as part of the announcement. "A Tarrant County location has been a long time coming," he says in a press release. "I have close ties to the City of North Richland Hills, and we have been discussing and working on a deal there for almost six years. Being a resident of North Tarrant, I am selfishly very excited to finally have an Alamo Drafthouse five minutes from my house. I am also thrilled to be able to share our concept with friends, neighbors and residents throughout the area!"

North Richland Hills mayor Oscar Trevino said, "A movie theater is among the most desired additions to the city by our residents, and having an Alamo Drafthouse Cinema is even better. Alamo Drafthouse not only satisfies our demand for moviegoing, but also introduces unique events and a new neighborhood restaurant to the North Tarrant Parkway corridor."
