MILFORD, Ohio - (Business Wire) - Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Parks announce a surge in third quarter sales with another double-digit same-park sales increase. Sales were up 18.8 percent for the quarter ending September 30. This follows a second quarter 11.9 percent jump and a first quarter 23.5 percent increase. Jellystone Park expects 2018 will be its tenth consecutive year of sales growth.
The nation’s second-largest franchise campground network owns and operates more than 84 campgrounds with more than 18,000 campsites and vacation rentals in 31 states and five Canadian provinces. Quoted in a press release, Jim Westover, vice president of Product Development and Sales at Yogi Bear, says: "The booming recreational vehicle business is fueling growth, with several Jellystone Park franchisees adding RV sites this year. Given our record sales growth, the Jellystone Park brand is continuing to expand at an accelerated pace." Of course, several factors are driving the growth of the network, as expected. “We’re seeing a huge uptick in millennial families starting to camp, and the activities and ‘glamping’ style amenities Jellystone Park offers puts us in a unique position to meet their needs,” Westover said.
