CINCINNATI, Jan. 21, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Yogi Bear’s Jellystone Park Camp-Resorts is once again being recognized as one of the nation’s top franchises in Entrepreneur magazine’s Franchise 500, the world’s first, best and most comprehensive franchise ranking. Jellystone Park’s ranking of #348 on the 2022 list is an improvement of 77 slots compared to 2021.

This marks the sixth consecutive year Jellystone Park has been ranked among Entrepreneur’s Franchise 500. It is the fifth time the family camping and entertainment company has topped its category based on the franchise’s consistent unit growth, financial strength and stability, and brand power.
