Camping World Announces Opening of New SuperCenter in Oxford/Talladega.

America's Largest Retailer of RV and Outdoor Supplies Co-located With New Dandy RV SuperStore 

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. -- Camping World, America's largest retailer of RV and outdoor supplies and accessories, today announced the opening of a new SuperCenter in Oxford, Alabama co-located with the new Dandy RV SuperStore. This brings the total number of Camping World Stores to 67 with plans to grow to 100 by 2008.

The Oxford store is off of I-20 equidistant to Birmingham and Atlanta. The facility will be a total of 82,000 square feet with 10,000 dedicated to the Camping World SuperCenter. With over 8000 sku's available from basic camping and outdoor accessories to hard to find RV parts, the full service, state-of-the-art store provides customers with all of their RV, outdoor, camping accessory and service needs.

Marcus Lemonis, Camping World President and CEO, remarked, "This facility could not be better located and we expect our business to be very robust here. Dandy RV SuperStore is a fine operation and Jim Cooley and his team have built a formidable business over the last 30 years. We're looking forward to working along side them to create the best customer experience."

Jim Cooley, Founder and President of Dandy RV Superstore commented, "We're so enthusiastic about this new facility and having Camping World with us. We know that we're going to get many times the foot traffic and sales than we would without them. On a walk in basis per month instead of being in the hundreds, it will be in the thousands because of Camping World."

The brisk expansion of Camping World is well timed to respond to growing consumer demand as the outlook for the RV and RV supplies and accessories market burgeons, topping lists of US growth industries. A recent study by the University of Michigan's Survey Research Center found that one in 12 U.S. vehicle-owning households now own an RV. There are now 7.9 million households in the U.S. with a RV. This figure indicates a 58 percent rise in RV ownership since 1980. This study also anticipates similar growth in the future, thus providing the catalyst for additional Camping World stores across the country.
