Budget estimate

$100,000 – $500,000

The contract is based on a percentage of gross sales, so revenue is variable. Assuming a modest visitor volume and average per‑visitor spend of $10–$20, annual sales could range from $500,000 to $2,500,000. With a typical state‑park concession revenue‑share of 10%–20%, the concessionaire’s net earnings might fall between $50,000 and $500,000 per year after operating costs. Therefore, a reasonable budget estimate is roughly $100k–$500k annually, depending on traffic and sales performance.
