Abstract
Rollup strategies have been effectively executed across many sectors, including funeral homes, pawn shops, regional casinos, ski resorts, golf clubs, veterinarian offices, institutional laundry, and car wash sectors. Amusement parks may be next, with over 400 prospective acquisition targets in the US alone; smaller parks offer untapped potential—family-owned properties priced between $1.7 million and $5.4 million. Roll-up strategies leverage enhanced purchasing power, shared resources, and best practices exchange. Still, it is unclear if they should maintain local brand identity(covert) even if they are part of a large chain or should be overt and nationally branded. The Federal Trade Commission has started an antitrust investigation into serial acquisitions, which may broadly challenge the strategy.
