Development is underway on a new Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Camp-Resorts near Waco, Texas.
Earlier this year, Jellystone Park announced franchise agreements for locations in Utah and Tennessee. The brand has commitments for eight new projects.
The 80-acre Texas camp-resort near Groesbeck is about 45 minutes from Waco. It is expected to open next spring.
The Groesbeck campground initially features a 7-acre lake with white sand beach and Wibit water obstacle course, pool, 150 RV sites, nine cabins, two Conestoga wagons, a pavilion for activities, camp store and dog park.
“We continue to see amazing interest from a wide range of new franchises who see the brand’s potential,” said Jim Westover, vice president of product development & sales. “Some are already active in the camping industry, while others are new to it.”
Westover added that Jellystone Park provides extensive support to franchisees developing their first location.
