Budget estimate

$100,000 – $500,000

No fixed contract value is disclosed; the concessionaire will earn revenue by retaining a percentage of gross sales after the state’s share. Assuming a mid‑size park concession generating $1‑5 million in annual sales and a typical revenue‑share of 10‑20%, the concessionaire’s net earnings could range from roughly $100,000 to $500,000 per year. This estimate accounts for seasonal visitor fluctuations, operating costs, and the size of the concession area.
