RV Retailer LLC (RVR) celebrated the grand opening of a full-service RV dealership in Katy, Texas, the fastest-growing area in the Houston market.
The new ExploreUSA Supercenter is RVR’s 18th store in Texas and 103rd store overall, according to a release.
“What a fantastic grand opening day in Houston this week,” RVR President and CEO Jon Ferrando said in a LinkedIn post. “We continue to invest in this industry and our company with a new flagship facility we built in Katy, Texas, the fastest-growing part of Houston.”
The store includes a state-of-the-art 28,000-square-foot facility with 28 service bays, a large covered service drive and a very nice indoor showroom, Ferrando said.
“We had a ribbon-cutting and celebrated our first sale with our customers who bought a travel trailer,” Ferrando said. “I also spent time with our associates a mix of leaders and teammates from our RVR stores and new associates. We have a great team to lead store No. 103.”
The Katy location will be RV Retailer’s second in the Houston market. The dealership operates an ExploreUSA store in Alvin, Texas.
Ferrando said Texas is the nation’s largest RV market, based on registration, and Houston is the third-largest metropolitan market with over 11,000 RV registrations in 2021.
The store will become part of RVR’s Central Region, run by Central Region President Larry Hall.
“We have an excellent team of associates at the store with strong leadership to ensure our success,” Ferrando said.
ExploreUSA Katy is located on the south side of Interstate 10 and across the highway from Buc-ee’s country store and gas stations. The Houston greater metroplex is among the country’s top 10 cities in terms of population and hosts pro baseball, football and basketball teams.
