Kalahari Resorts and Conventions Announces Intention to Locate in the City of Round Rock, Texas

World’s Coolest Indoor Waterparks Eyeing Destination for the
Company’s First Southwest Location and Fourth Property Overall

WISCONSIN DELLS, Wis.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Kalahari
Resorts and Conventions’
owner Todd Nelson and his family are proud
to announce the company’s intention to locate its newest property in the
city of Round Rock, Texas. The expansion will mark the company’s first
resort and convention center in the Southwest and fourth destination
overall.


Nelson shared this news, along with his vision for the newest Kalahari
Resorts and Conventions location, with a crowd of more than 100 state
and local dignitaries, media attendees, business owners and neighbors.
The Round Rock location will mirror the company’s existing resorts, will
be authentically African-themed and will include up to 1,000 guest
rooms, indoor and outdoor waterparks, restaurants, a family
entertainment center, spa and convention center.

“We are incredibly excited to bring our authentically African resort
experience to the Southwest for the first time,” said Todd Nelson, owner
of Kalahari Resorts and Conventions. “The city of Round Rock has been
incredibly welcoming, and we look forward to finalizing plans to
officially become a part of this great community.”

Round Rock, with a population of around 105,000, is located 15 miles
north of Austin in the Central Texas hill country. Round Rock is the
31st largest city in Texas, according to the 2010 U.S. Census Bureau
data. Major employers include Dell, Sears Teleserv, Emerson and Texas
Guaranteed Student Loan. It has an award-winning park system and school
district. Round Rock is one of the safest cities with a population of at
least 100,000.

“We are thrilled Kalahari has chosen Round Rock for its first expansion
into the Southwest,” Mayor Alan McGraw said. “This game-changing project
will be a great benefit to our community, continuing our efforts to
diversify the local economy. We look forward to working with the Nelson
family to bring their vision to reality in Round Rock.”

This will be the fourth location for Kalahari Resorts and Conventions.
The company opened the doors on its Pocono Mountains property in July
2015. Kalahari Resorts and Conventions can also be found in Sandusky,
Ohio (2005), and the Waterpark Capital of the World, Wisconsin Dells
(2000). The resorts are designed by the Nelson family for families and
are privately owned and operated.
