Welk Resort's Remarkable Success

The Lawrence Welk brand conjures images of the big band variety show that aired on television from 1945 to 1982 or the Lawrence Welk Village north of Escondido. What most don't know is that Welk Resorts is a thriving $150 million annual revenue youthful luxury resort group with seven large properties including a stunning property in Cabo San Lucas that won the Expedia insiders Select Award and was named #7 in the World in 2013.

ACG will have the honor of hearing from the President of Welk Resorts, Jon Fredricks, as he tells the story of how the Welk family leveraged its brand name and the cash flow from its entertainment business to build a youthful and luxurious Welk resort portfolio with properties in San Diego, Cabo San Lucas, Palm Springs, Breckenridge, Tahoe, Kauai and Branson, MO. We will hear how the business has grown through a combination of innovative M&A transactions and organic development.
