BRANSON, Mo. -- Ozark Ticket & Travel will not acquire Branson
Gray Line as previously announced because of "a disagreement over
contractual obligations," according to an attorney for Branson Gray
Line. Lee Larscheid, owner of Ozark Ticket & Travel, confirmed
that the deal was canceled.
Plans for the takeover, which were announced last year, were
subject to approval from Denver-based Gray Line. Branson Gray Line
would have become a division of Ozark Ticket & Travel under the
original proposal.
Both companies are operating separately, although a toll-free
line that formerly was used by Branson Gray Line is answered now by
Ozark Ticket & Travel. Ozark Ticket & Tours and Branson
Gray Line will operate remaining agent fam tours under their
individual names.
