RV Retailer has announced the acquisition of Golden Gait Trailers and RVs (GGT) in the Charlotte, N.C., market and Camptown RV in the Raleigh, N.C., market.
“We have had an exceptional year of growth in 2020, and the addition of two great stores in North Carolina is an excellent way to end the year,” said Jon Ferrando, president and CEO of RV Retailer. “We are very focused on expansion in the Carolinas. These are excellent RV markets from a demographic standpoint. The combined markets of Charlotte and Raleigh have over 5,000 registered RV owners and they are both ranked among the fastest-growing large cities in the U.S.
“The GGT store is in a great location on I-85 near the Charlotte Motor Speedway with an impressive facility with 20 indoor service bays, which aligns with our focus on providing a great experience to customers in sales and service,” added Ferrando. “These stores will join our eastern region under the leadership of Don Strollo, President of the eastern region.”
Said Strollo: “Camptown RV has been rebranded as RV One Superstores of Raleigh and now operates out of a newly renovated and modernized facility. The GGT store will be branded RV One Superstores of Charlotte, while maintaining the GGT brand for the specialty trailers sold there. We welcome the associates of GGT and Camptown RV to the RV Retailer family of stores, and with our expansion plans we will be creating jobs and adding talent in both markets.”
“The product brand mix at Camptown is excellent with brands like Jayco and Rockwood, and we are excited to add key brands,” added Strollo. “Our focus with RV One Superstores of Charlotte will be to increase sales significantly with a strong mix of motorhome and towable RV product lines, along with specialty trailers.”
