RV Retailer has agreed to acquire Palm RV in Fort Meyers, Florida. The store will become RV One Superstores – Fort Meyers. It will become the seventh RV One store in the state and the 11th store overall. Upon closing of the Palm RV transaction in early March, RV Retailer will have 30 locations in 7 states with more than 1,200 associates.
“We have been focused on Florida as a key market from the day RV Retailer was formed, which makes it great for us to hit our 30th store milestone in under two years with an acquisition in Florida,” RV Retailer CEO and President Jon Ferrando said. “Fort Myers is an excellent RV market with over 50 RV parks and campgrounds along the Southwest Florida coastline.
“We thank Tom Wegge for selecting us to acquire Palm RV. The Wegge family has an incredible history in the RV business,” Ferrando said. “RV One Superstores – Fort Myers will be managed under the leadership of Don Strollo, RV Retailer’s East Region President. We expect to drive significant growth in the Fort Myers market by successfully building on Palm RV’s foundation that was set by Tom over many years. We look forward to welcoming our new associates in Fort Myers into the RV Retailer family.”
In Good Company
Additionally, the company revealed Motor Home Specialist, a dealership it acquired in 2018, was named the No. 1 U.S. motorhome seller for the seventh consecutive year by Statistical Surveys.
“I am proud of Donny O’Banion and the entire Motor Home Specialist team in Texas,” RV Retailer CEO and President Jon Ferrando said. “The achievement of a seventh consecutive year as the largest new motorhome dealer in the United States speaks to the team’s continued commitment to exceed expectations of motorhome customers.”
“I am thrilled that we were able to continue our reign for the seventh year in a row as the largest new motorhome dealer in the United States,” Motor Homes Specialists President Donny O’Banion said. “We couldn’t achieve our incredible sales levels without the dedication of all our associates at Motor Home Specialist and the support of our manufacturer partners. I’m proud to be a part of RV Retailer, the RVR team’s support has been instrumental in our continued success.”
