Camping World Holdings announced what it says is its largest acquisition in company history: the purchase of Richardson’s RV Centers.
The agreement includes eight locations in California and Indiana: five current dealership locations, one future dealership location, and two parts and service centers. The deal makes Camping World the No. 1 dealer in California in terms of stores.
“The Richardson’s top-notch management along with their solid team members are the primary reason we sought this deal,” said Marcus Lemonis, CEO and chairman of Camping World Holdings. “We know the Richardson’s RV Centers add immediate value for our customers, as an iconic family brand that has been providing exceptional service to RVers for over 30 years.”
The California locations will transition to the Camping World brand and bring the company current count to 12 RV dealerships and five parts and service centers in the state, with a future RV dealership coming soon. The Indiana location will convert the RVs.com brand and provide a digital and factory-direct experience for customers nationwide. The SuperCenters will offer a wide range of new and used RVs from top manufacturers, in addition to a full assortment of RV and outdoor products and accessories and the entire portfolio of Good Sam products and services.
