Alison Birdwell, President and CEO of Aramark Sports + Entertainment, stated, "VENU's 'fan-founded' philosophy aligns perfectly with our commitment to creating unforgettable experiences. We are thrilled to support their approach to transforming the live entertainment space and to help bring their groundbreaking vision to life."
Under the new agreement, Aramark will oversee food & beverage concessions, artist and fan retail, and all facility operations including custodial, grounds maintenance, and engineering across VENU's flagship amphitheaters:

Strategic Partnerships Fueling VENU's National Growth
Aramark joins an elite group of strategic partners backing VENU's capital-light growth strategy and high-touch consumer model, including:
- EIGHT Elite Light Lager, founded by NFL Hall of Famer Troy Aikman, is the official beverage partner of VENU's Texas and Oklahoma venues. The partnership includes exclusive Aikman Clubs offering premium fan experiences.
- Ford Motor Company secured naming rights to the Ford Amphitheater in Colorado Springs, a luxury 8,000-seat outdoor venue operated in partnership with AEG Presents, the second-largest promoter in the world.
- Sands Investment Group (SIG) is enabling triple-net Luxe FireSuite fractional real estate offerings at VENU venues, with projected 11-12% cap rates targeting income-focused investors.
VENU's 40/40/20 capital model—40% municipal, 40% pre-sale of Luxe FireSuites, 20% sale-leasebacks—allows it to rapidly expand its venue footprint without reliance on dilutive equity. In Q1 2025, the company booked $38.7 million in fractional suite sales and reported a 19% increase in total assets, further validating the model's scalability.
With plans to expand to 16 operating venues and 79,000+ seats by year-end 2026, VENU continues to evolve from a regional venue developer to a national-scale originator of high-performance entertainment infrastructure.
