PELAHATCHIE, Miss. - The Jenkins Organization (TJO) has acquired the Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Camp-Resort location in Pelahatchie, MS. This would be the real estate company’s first forays into the campground industry. Although The Jenkins Organization just closed escrow on the Jellystone Park location in mid-May, the company has already started making improvements to the Pelahatchie park, which has its own lake for fishing and other water activities.
“We love the dynamics and the potential growth of the campground industry, and we’re attracted to the Jellystone Park franchise network because they have built a brand based on family fun,” said Ricky Jenkins, President of The Jenkins Organization, in a press release. New amenities, including kayaks, pedal boats and laser tag, are being added to the park before July 4th with many additional improvements taking place throughout the summer and fall. This fall, the Jenkins Organization plans to remodel the swimming pool area. Other amenities currently available at the park include a miniature golf course; a Gaga ball pit; an outdoor movie theater; sand volleyball and basketball courts; a playground; and a Cartoon Cafe.
