How to unlock the The Concessioner achievement in Zoo Tycoon - Definitive Guide

In order to unlock "The Concessioner" achievement, you are required to build one of each concession type into the same zoo.

Please note that this achievement can only be unlocked through playing on either the Campaign or Challenge Modes. It will not unlock if you are playing on Freeform Mode.

Apparently this is no longer the case as two gamers, Jobbenar and Jonker3262 have now said they have unlocked the achievement through playing on Freeform Mode.

EDIT: I have also been advised that each of the built concessions must be present in the zoo at the same time to unlock the achievement; it will not count if you simply build a concession and sell it immediately afterwards.
~Thanks to THE DEADLY DOG & PBslipknotCKY for the above.

It is up to you whether you wish to research and build each concession as they become available (just remember to balance these out with exhibits/decorations/facilities to keep guests happy) or to wait until all have been unlocked to build them all at the same time. As soon as the achievement has been unlocked you can sell the concessions you don't require to free up more room in your zoo.

To view the list of concessions load up a zoo and go into Tycoon View by pressing 'Y', move your cursor over an unoccupied piece of land until you see 'Build Zoo' appear next to the A button at the bottom right of the screen and press it. You will see 5 options, the second to last on the right being 'Concession'.

Concessions are split into two categories; Entertainment and Food & Drink. If you have not unlocked it, the picture will be greyed out and will show a zoo level requirement which you must reach to unlock. This is easily done by continuing to add exhibits and animals to your zoos and completing challenges. When you have reached the required level you will now have the option to 'Begin Research' on the concession and following this, you are able to build it.

N.B. If you are playing on Campaign Mode you will find that there may be concessions already in the zoo you enter i.e. Burger Barn; you are still required to build one of these yourself in order to complete the achievement.

There are a total of 15 concessions which I have listed below along with their Zoo Fame Level unlock requirements. These are the same on both Campaign and Challenge modes;

Entertainment
- Balloon Shop
Unlocks At: Lv 1

- Lion Mascot
Unlocks At: Lv1

- Souvenir Shop
Unlocks At: Lv 14

- Tiger Mascot
Unlocks At: Lv 6

- Cuddly Toy Shop
Unlocks At: Lv 3

- Bear Mascot
Unlocks At: Lv 18

- Macaw Keeper
Unlocks At: Lv 5

- Lemur Keeper
Unlocks At: Lv 2

Food & Drink
- Soft Drinks Stand
Unlocks At: Lv 1

- Milkshake Stand
Unlocks At: Lv 3

- Burger Barn
Unlocks At: Lv 1

- Pizzeria
Unlocks At: Lv 12

- Ice Cream Stand
Unlocks At: Lv 8

- Popcorn Stand
Unlocks At: Lv 1

- Coffee Shop
Unlocks At: Lv 2

I hope my solution was clear and informative, please vote positively if you found this to be useful. If you vote negatively I would appreciate a comment as to why and how I can improve for future solutions. Thanks!

You should note that they all need to be built at the same time in your park.

No you can build them on different days but they just all need to be present at the same time in the same zoo for this achievement to pop.

I would need someone else to clarify before updating the solution. When you look at the achievement description (on the achievement list on the X1) before unlocking it shows 'Built every type of concession in the same zoo (Campaign and Challenge mode)'. Makes no mention of Freeform mode so I assumed you couldn't unlock the achievement in this mode.

I just unlocked this in freeform mode too, very easy. I am also getting progress for several achievements that say campaign or challenge mode only. Thanks! +1

Ok so...you're saying if I made a zoo today, in order for the achievement to pop I would have to make sure they are all built in that particular session of playing? If I build one concession and then save and quit for the evening, come back on the next morning and build the others, the achievement won't pop?

This achievements requires that you build every type of concession in the same zoo in either Challenge or Campaign Modes. From the Build Menu, go to Concessions. There are 8 entertainment and 7 Food+Drink concessions to build. The last concession does not unlock until Fame Rating 18. They must all be present in the zoo simultaneously. This could be an issue with a the zoo limit. Temporarily sell some other buildings to make room for you to quickly construct all the concessions if your zoo limit has been reached.
