Budget estimate

$200,000 – $500,000

No contract value is disclosed. Based on typical seasonal park concessions in Montana, annual gross sales can range from $250k to $600k, with the agency typically retaining 20‑30% as a concession fee. Assuming a 70‑80% pass‑through to the operator, the net earnings for the concessionaire could fall roughly between $200,000 and $500,000 for the season, depending on sales volume, product mix, and operational efficiency.
