Recreation USA Moves Corporate Headquarters to Ft. LauderdaleFT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., Sept. 25 Holiday RV Superstores, Inc. announced today that it has moved its corporate headquarters from Orlando, Fla. to Ft. Lauderdale. The nation's leading retail chain of recreational vehicle and marine dealerships, which operates under the tradename Recreation USA, said Chairman Michael Riley, President and CEO Ronald Huneycutt and other senior members of its management team will operate out of the new Ft. Lauderdale location. The Orlando location will be retained for regional support functions, primarily serving dealerships located outside Florida. The Company's e-commerce operations, associates with its website, http://www.RecUsa.com , will also be housed in the Orlando regional office. Recreation USA has more than doubled in size since announcing its intention last year to consolidate the fragmented RV and marine dealership industries. Huneycutt said that the decision to relocate to southern Florida will make it easier for the Company to meet its goal of growing into a $1 billion retailer by the end of 2002. "Our new corporate headquarters offers a host of benefits that were not as readily available in Orlando," Huneycutt explained. "South Florida is home to more merger and acquisition and corporate finance activity than any place else in the state. Given our aggressive acquisition strategy, we feel it makes good sense to be as close to the action as possible. "Also, it had become clear that we were outgrowing our Orlando location. As Recreation USA continues to add staff and to build our corporate bench, we will be able to draw from a more diverse pool of seasoned professionals." Recreation USA's new corporate offices are at 200 E. Broward Blvd., Suite 920, Ft. Lauderdale, Fla. Company management can be reached at 954-522-9903 or via fax at 954-522-9906. Recreation USA, the nation's only publicly traded chain of RV and boat dealerships, operates 14 dealership locations in California, Florida, Kentucky, New Mexico, South Carolina, Virginia and West Virginia. Recreation USA dealerships sell, service and finance more than 60 RV and 10 boat brands. The Company also markets its offerings through its Internet site at http://www.RecUsa.com .
