JumpShot Inc., a leader in basketball-themed entertainment, will soon establish a corporate headquarters in Dallas, ahead of launching new basketball entertainment facilities called JumpShot Live, a cutting-edge venue that blends a full-service restaurant, sports bar and a variety of event experiences, all centered around basketball.
The hooped-themed establishments are designed to cover 50,000 square feet, although some venues may differ in size. Each venue will feature around 50 custom-designed basketball bays, each capable of hosting up to 6 players. Guests can select from a range of games to tailor their experience.
The venues feature patent-pending technology that enables the hoop and net to move dynamically along a 40-foot by 10-foot lane, allowing guests to shoot from nearly any position on the court without leaving their player bay. The gaming bays and basketball lanes will be enhanced by projectors and LED screens, creating an immersive digital environment.
JumpShot Inc. has assembled an all-star team of renowned corporate innovators to spearhead the startup. CEO Derrick Mayes brings decades of expertise in organizational leadership, strategic planning and corporate development to the company. A former player for the Green Bay Packers during their Super Bowl XXXI victory in 1997, Mayes was also an All-American and co-captain at Notre Dame.
"This is one of the most innovative and technologically advanced entertainment experiences in the world," said Mayes in an official statement. "We believe that JumpShot Live will redefine the industry and bring basketball fans something beyond their imagination."
JumpShot Inc. also appointed Brian Birckbichler as president and COO. With a background in leadership and real estate development at prominent companies like Atomic Golf, Topgolf, Drive Shack and Bloomin' Brands, Birckbichler brings extensive global expertise. Renowned for his work on various high-profile sports entertainment projects worldwide, he excels in delivering exceptional hospitality services, innovative food and beverage concepts and optimizing business operations for maximum efficiency and success.
JumpShot Live has set ambitious growth plans, with its inaugural location scheduled to open in 2025, followed by three additional venues in 2026, locations pending. The company aims for national expansion, focusing on key markets for future openings.
