Winston Score History

The full picture

Parks! America owns and operates drive-through safari parks in the United States. Visitors stay in their cars and drive through large open spaces where animals like giraffes, zebras, and bison roam freely. The company owns parks in Georgia and Missouri, and its customers are families looking for affordable outdoor entertainment.

The company earns money through admission tickets, animal feeding experiences, and on-site retail and food sales. It is a small business with a market cap under $100 million and competes in the regional family attractions space. Its main competitive advantage is the low-cost, drive-through format, which requires less staffing than traditional zoos or theme parks. The key risk is that attendance is highly seasonal and weather-dependent, and the company has limited ability to grow without acquiring or building new park locations, which requires significant capital.
