BUSINESS DESCRIPTION
This business for sale is an operator of a 104-acre wildlife park where hundreds of exotic animals from all over the world roam in spacious natural habitats, giving visitors the chance to see their natural behavior; guests can encounter lions, tigers, giraffes and zebras face to face, and enjoy exciting unrehearsed shows.
Visitors come from Arizona (72 percent), other U.S. states (25 percent) and other countries (3 percent). Attendance in 2012 is forecast in excess of 120,000, which would represent approximately one-third of capacity given the current facilities and amenities, although additional expansion and enhancements on existing land could increase capacity. Numerous expansion opportunities, including park-adjacent possible zoned hotel space, would allow the park to expand into a world-class vacation destination, in conjunction with additional capital and other resources.
Non-owner staff includes 37 full time and nine part time non-union employees, many with long-standing tenures and excellent relationships with the animals. The active owners are supported by a broad and highly capable management team across all key functions.

Market / Competition / Non-Competition Agreements
Management is confident that significant growth can be achieved via increased marketing efforts and land expansion.
