Out of 50 franchises, Kampgrounds of America, Inc. (KOA) is the only outdoor hospitality company to be recognized by Franchise Business Review as one of the Most Profitable Franchises of 2022.
According to a press release, this is KOA’s first time being included in the top 50 Most Profitable Franchises. Although, the company has received several Franchise Business awards in the previous years including Top Recession-Proof Franchises (2021, 2022), Top Franchises for Women (2019, 2021, 2022), and Top Franchise Culture (2020, 2021, 2022).
KOA has also been recognized as a Top Franchise every year since 2019.
“Since Kampgrounds of America, Inc. began franchising campgrounds not long after opening the first KOA 60 years ago, franchisee success and satisfaction has been central to our business,” said Ann Emerson, chief operations officer of the KOA franchise system, in a press release.
“We continue to implement and improve tools that ensure campground owners across the U.S. and Canada can operate efficiently and profitably.”
To make the top-50 list, KOA.’s franchisees were surveyed on 33 benchmark questions about their experience and satisfaction. Areas included in the questionnaire were franchise systems, training and support, operations, franchise relations, and financial opportunity.
Franchise Business Review analyzed data from over 30,000 franchise owners representing more than 300 brands. Other factors that helped identify the award-winning companies include the annual income of franchise owners and startup capital requirements.
