About Parks America, INC

Parks! America, Inc. (ticker: PRKA) is a small-cap U.S. leisure and attractions operator whose shares trade on the OTCQX market, not on NYSE or NASDAQ at present, according to its most recent SEC filings. The company is incorporated in Nevada and headquartered in Pine Mountain, Georgia, United States. Its business is focused on regional safari parks and family-oriented entertainment assets, making it a niche operator within the broader tourism and attractions industry rather than a mass-market theme park platform. The company currently owns and operates three regional safari parks: Wild Animal Safari Pine Mountain in Georgia, Wild Animal Safari Springfield in Missouri, and Aggieland Safari near Bryan/College Station, Texas. Management describes the portfolio as local and regional entertainment assets and attractions in the United States. Each park is run autonomously by a general manager, and operating decisions are reviewed on a park-by-park basis. That structure gives the business some flexibility, but it also means performance can vary materially by location depending on attendance trends, weather, local marketing, and discretionary consumer spending. From an investor perspective, Parks! America competes in a highly specialized segment of the leisure market. Its value proposition is based on safari-style, animal-focused, family-friendly experiences that combine education, entertainment, and outdoor recreation. This differentiates the company from traditional amusement parks and from larger publicly traded theme park operators. The competitive advantage lies less in scale and more in regional brand recognition, unique guest experiences, and the ability to acquire and improve under-managed local attractions over time. Historically, the company entered its current line of business in 2005 with the acquisition of an animal attraction in Pine Mountain, Georgia. It adopted the Parks! America name and PRKA ticker in 2008. The Texas park was added later, in 2020, reinforcing the company’s acquisition-led expansion strategy. In its own materials, Parks! America emphasizes continuity, preservation of the legacy of acquired parks, and long-term ownership rather than quick resale. Recent developments have been notable. In April 2025, the company completed a 1-for-500 reverse stock split followed immediately by a 5-for-1 forward stock split, and in May 2025 its common stock began trading on OTCQX after previously trading on OTC Pink. More recently, the company reported continued operating activity across all three parks in its latest quarterly filing and an employment transition involving Geoff Gannon as President and CEO in April 2026. Overall, PRKA remains a specialized U.S. regional attractions company with a concentrated asset base, modest scale, and a strategy centered on incremental operational improvement.
