Jellystone Parks To Offer Prospective Owners Workshop, Sept. 16-17 In Burleson, Texas

May 23, 2017 | Posted by Michele Wisher |
MILFORD, Ohio, May 23, 2017 — Have you ever thought about owning and operating your own Jellystone Park™ franchise?

Leisure Systems Inc. will hold a Prospective Owners Workshop Sept. 16 -17 with seminars designed for people thinking of going into the campground business as well as existing campground owners who are considering joining the Jellystone Park network.

The two-day workshop will be held at the award winning North Texas Jellystone Park in Burleson, Texas, near Fort Worth.

The workshop will examine the different types of campgrounds, including destination parks, seasonal campgrounds and membership parks. It will also cover the key questions prospective campground owners need to know, such as:

— Is it better to buy an existing campground or build one?
— What type of campground should I purchase?
— How much will it cost?
— Should I consider joining a franchise to help me?
— What kind of marketing and operational support can a franchise network provide?
— What kind of ancillary revenue can be generated by being part of the Jellystone Park franchise network?
— Is this the right decision for my family?

“Our goal is to help you decide if owning a campground, any campground whether it’s a Jellystone Park or not, is right for you and your family,” said Jim Westover, vice president of operations for Leisure Systems.

Milford, Ohio-based Leisure Systems franchises 80 Jellystone Park campgrounds with more than 17,000 campsites and vacation rentals across the U.S. and Canada and plans to expand to more than 100 parks in the next five years.

Leisure Systems’ growing sales and profitability landed the Jellystone Park franchisor a spot in Entrepreneur magazine’s latest Franchise 500® listing, ranking 472 for its exceptional performance across several areas, including financial strength and stability, growth rate and brand power.

Several workshop instructors are past campground owners and have taught classes at industry conventions and ARVC’s National School of RV Park and Campground Management. They will share industry insights and provide tools for you to make an educated purchase decision. Finance and insurance company representatives will also be available to provide information about their requirements and processes.

The cost of the Prospective Owners Workshop is $350 per couple and includes two nights in a premium luxury cottage at the North Texas Jellystone Park (http://www.northtexasjellystone.com/premium-luxury-cottages/); lunch on Saturday; a campfire and social on Saturday night; and a two-hour tour of the North Texas Jellystone Park on Sunday with the park’s general manager.

“You’ll have the opportunity to interact with staff and gain insight into the hard work and outstanding rewards of campground ownership,” Westover said.

Theresa Isaacson – Caledonia, WI

We’re going to be entering our 13th season, and I sure would hate to own a property without being Yogi branded. The reason we really like Jellystone Parks is because of the support behind us. With 80 other parks in the system, we have 80 sources of question-and-answer type people to go to. The support is wonderful. The franchise, the LSI system itself – their …

Ian & Sally Steyn – Larkspur, CO

2009 was our first year as a Jellystone Park™ and since then we have experienced double digit growth.  For 2012, our revenues were up 33% and net operating income was up more than that, year over year! After almost four decades of owning various businesses, converting our campground to a Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park™ Camp-Resort ranks among the smartest decisions.

Roger & Anna Barry – Fremont, IN

When we joined the Jellystone Park™ system in 1980, we were a small operation without a plan. What we have learned through the years from LSI and our fellow Yogi Bear™ owners and operators has been extremely valuable. We now have over 500 sites, RV Sales, waterslides, and a seven family member team of owners and operating managers. We couldn’t have done it w…

Joey Coleman & Rick Coleman – Tabor City, NC

In 2001, we began a unique challenge to build a campground on our family farm 35 miles inland from Myrtle Beach. People responded to our design of large concrete pads, full hook-ups, plenty of open space, and ultimate customer service. But we soon had “growing pains” with procedures and operations.

In 2003, we joined Jellystone Park™. The operations…

Chip Smith – Monticello, IA

We got into the Jellystone brand at the beginning of last year. This is the end of our first season. We are pretty excited about it. What I like most about the brand is the fact that they are drawing in families from three hours away. They all know what we’re there for, and they’re willing to spend a longer time at our park than just the weekend. The investme…

Rick Spear – Estes Park, CO

We’ve been in the Jellystone franchise system for 20 years this year. It was a family endeavor to begin with, but over those 20 years we’ve seen significant growth of our campground. In particular, just the last three years in a row we’ve been up double digits, 10-11% points three years in a row. We’ve really been coming on strong, and continue to see good grow…

Brent Fannin – Delaware Beaches

2011 was our first year as a Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park™.  We saw record occupancy levels with increases of more than 35% year over year! The addition of nine cabins to our park yielded occupancy levels well over 90% each weekend!  The conversion to a Jellystone Park™ did exactly what we expected – it grew our business.

Erv & Marilyn Banes – Frankenmuth, MI

We decided to convert to the Jellystone Park™ system in 1996 because the market conditions were changing. Several of our colleagues had converted and grown in the process. We found that by changing our customer base to families, rather than seniors, we expanded.

The advantage of a Jellystone Park™ is that it is so much more alive than the average park. Plu…

Denny Quigley & Tami Alessio – Harrisville, PA

2011 was our first year as a Jellystone Park™. Since then, we have definitely noticed that we are attracting a lot more guests from a much larger radius that extends nationwide. And we are seeing more guests from Canada. Over this three year time period, our store sales have increased almost 45%! The increased business also helped to allow us to do…

Bill Pott – Cave City, KY

I really like the way it brings me a nice class of customers. I get happy families. I get people who want to come and to spend money to have fun. They enjoy our park. It’s just wonderful they way they come in, and you get so many that want to meet the other guests, they want to go have fun on the Jumping Pillow, then they want to go to the Splash Pad – and they want …
