RV Retailer LLC, based in Fort Lauderdale, FL, announced the addition of 14 dealerships with the acquisitions of Family RV Group and Northgate RV.
Cincinnati-based Family RV Group operates 12 dealerships in Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, Tennessee and Georgia. Northgate RV Center – Georgia’s top towable dealer – includes two dealerships in Knoxville, TN and in Ringgold, GA.
RV Retailer, launched in early 2018 is expected to close its latest dealership acquisitions in February and, in the process, affirm its position as the country’s number two dealer in terms of stores with 52 outlets in 15 states.
“We are excited to announce the acquisitions of Family RV Group and Northgate RV,” President and CEO Ferrando said in a release. “These acquisitions allow us to expand into new southern and Midwest markets along the I-75 corridor with 14 stores in five new states with strong demographics for RV sales and service. This is an excellent way for us to kick off 2021 with continued exceptional growth to 52 stores in 15 states.”
“These stores will be part of the Eastern Region of RVR under the leadership of Don Strollo, president of the Eastern Region,” Ferrando continued. “We are pleased that Steve and Chuck Jung will continue to manage the Family RV Group stores under Don’s direction. The Jung family founded the business in Cincinnati as Colerain RV in 1968 and has been providing exceptional customer service for 52 years. The Yates family founded Northgate RV 26 years ago, and we are pleased that key Yates family members will stay on in key positions with the Northgate RV business.”
