Celebrating local entrepreneurs
in the heart of the Mill District

McKinney, Texas -- TUPPS is proud to announce the official Grand Opening and Ribbon Cutting Ceremony for The Silos at TUPPS on Saturday, March 7 at 11:00 a.m. The celebration will feature live music, food, craft beer, cocktails, and shopping — inviting the community to experience a new era of local entrepreneurship in a setting built on family, creativity, and community.

What began in 2009 as a homebrew hobby in founder Keith Lewis’ garage has grown into one of Texas’ most recognized craft breweries and now, a launchpad for small businesses. The Silos at TUPPS evolved the original B.Y.O.B. Courtyard (Build Your Own Business) concept into six permanent, experiential retail spaces housed in iconic grain bins.

“TUPPS started as a family dream,” said Lewis. “We built it from the ground up, and we want others to have that same opportunity. The Silos are about heart, hustle, and giving people a place to grow.”
