Nation's Largest RV Retailer, FreedomRoads, Announces the Acquisition of Washington's Foley's RV

The Agreement Brings the Total Number of FreedomRoads Dealerships to 44 Nationally

LINCOLNSHIRE, Ill., July 26 -- FreedomRoads, L.L.C., the nation's largest recreational vehicle retailer, today announced the acquisition of Foley's RV of Mount Vernon, WA. This brings the total number of FreedomRoads dealerships to 44 in this rapidly growing company.

According to Marcus Lemonis, Co-Founder, President and CEO of FreedomRoads, "We're thrilled to include Foley's RV as part of the growing FreedomRoads family. They are a well-established dealership with a strong presence and reputation for excellence in the Seattle area and Northwest. They are now an important part of our very strong and growing network of the most dynamic RV retailers in the country," he said.

Rex Foley, a Foley's RV Co-Founder, expressed similar enthusiasm, "We did not see becoming a FreedomRoads dealership as an 'if you can't beat them join them' proposition. Instead we see this as a windfall in that the company has tremendous resources -- both financial and human -- to make us an even better dealership -- better able to serve our customers and to become an even more attractive place for people to work." Co-Founder Ron Foley continued, "FreedomRoads also brings the marketing savvy and experience of the country's premiere RV entrepreneurs. This is going to really propel this dealership forward even faster," he said.

With the acquisition of Foley's RV, FreedomRoads establishes a presence in another key United States RV market region and will become part of the West Coast Region. Each region is lead by one of seven Co-Founder Regional Presidents who built their respective dealerships into regional powerhouses. They bring to the company both sophisticated management skills as well as passionate entrepreneurialism.

Mike Stier, FreedomRoads Co-Founder and West Coast Regional President commented, "The FreedomRoads family is made up of the very best RV dealerships like Foley's who have historically lead in their markets not just in share, but in demonstrating a commitment to making this industry better. Foley's is typical of the type of dealership and the type of people who make up FreedomRoads. Their progressive outlook will allow us to remain strong, grow and continuously enhance the company and the industry to everyone's benefit," he continued.
