Camping World Announces Grand Opening of New Gulf Breeze, Florida Store
GULF BREEZE, Fla.--Camping World, America’s largest retailer of RV and outdoor supplies and accessories, today announced the Grand Opening of its new store in Gulf Breeze, Florida. The store is co-located with FreedomRoads dealer Emerald Coast RV Centers at 6240 Gulf Breeze Parkway (Highway 98) in Gulf Breeze.
The Grand Opening will be held over a four day period beginning on Thursday, November 16 through Sunday November 19. RV and outdoor enthusiasts who attend the Grand Opening will enjoy a free lunch daily from 11-1, door prizes, four day only Grand Opening specials and the opportunity to win $5,000 in cash as part of Camping World’s 40th Anniversary Sweepstakes.
According to Camping World Regional Vice President Bruce Wright, “We’ve already had a strong response in the time we’ve been open and look forward to offering our customers and the community the opportunity to come in, meet our associates and enjoy the free lunch, specials and prizes during this exciting Grand Opening.”
The new Camping World of Gulf Breeze is the rapidly growing retailer’s 58th store. It has 5,000 square feet of retail space and stocks thousands of RV and outdoor supplies and accessories. With 12 state-of-the-art service bays, customers are able to receive expert installation, maintenance and repair services.
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.
