Camping World, Good Sam hosts 50th anniversary event
LINCOLNSHIRE - Camping World, the nation's largest RV and outdoor retailer, and Good Sam, the world's largest RV owners' organization, are celebratingits 50th anniversary by hosting a VIP event for customers starting at 8 a.m. Saturday at the Wauconda/Island Lake area Supercenter, 27794 North Darrell Road.
The center will have several promotions for shoppers throughout the day, including a special appearance by CEO Marcus Lemonis.
"As we celebrate this milestone, I want to thank you, our valued club members and customers, for the honor of providing you and your family with the benefits, products and services that have helped you make priceless memories,'' said Marcus Lemonis, CEO and Chairman of Camping World and star of CNBC's The Profit.
Camping World and the Good Sam Club began in 1966 when the first Camping World store opened in Beech Bend Park, Kentucky, and a small California RV magazine called Trail-R-News founded The Good Sam Club, whose original members promised to help fellow travelers on America's highways. Both companies would eventually join forces to serve every aspect of the RV experience. Today, as members of the same corporate family, Camping World sells RV supplies and accessories at over 120 Supercenters coast to coast, most of which offer sales of new and used RVs, while the Good Sam Club provides a variety of exclusive benefits, services and discounts to over 1.6 million members across North America.
The event is free and open to the public but patrons are encouraged to RSVP for the event by calling (866) 887-8261 by Aug. 11. For more information, visit www.CampingWorldofChicago.com
