From whom must I purchase all nonalcoholic beverages for my Camp Margaritaville Resort?

According to Camp Margaritaville's 2025 Franchise Disclosure Document, you must purchase all nonalcoholic beverages from a local Coca-Cola Bottling Company distributor. This is a mandatory purchasing requirement, meaning you cannot source these beverages from any other supplier without violating the franchise agreement.

This requirement ensures brand consistency and quality control across all Camp Margaritaville locations. By mandating a specific supplier, Camp Margaritaville can maintain standards for the beverages offered to customers. While this limits your flexibility in choosing suppliers, it also ensures that you receive products that meet the franchisor's specifications.

It is important to note that Camp Margaritaville and its affiliates may receive benefits from approved suppliers. While the FDD states that in 2024 they received no rebates, commissions, payments, benefits, or other material consideration, they reserve the right to negotiate such arrangements in the future. This is a common practice in franchising, where franchisors leverage their collective buying power to negotiate favorable terms with suppliers, which may or may not be passed on to franchisees.
