Except that having the koa name brought them a lot of business. The folks that we talked to (and met there last year) said this Memorial Day weekend it was more crowded there than it had been in years.
which could indicate that it does not need the KOA banner to operate at a profit. In my travels I have seen many former KOAs as evidenced by their office construction.

Right, except this one did NOT start out as a koa. It was slowly losing business (according to the folks we met there last year), it BECAME a koa and GAINED business as a koa. I would assume they became a koa to take advantage of the nationally recognized name. After all, why pay the franchise fee otherwise?
