RV Group Expands Carolina Footprint
Blue Compass RV Columbia Northeast is the 13th RV dealership owned by Blue Compass in the Carolinas.
Brown’s RV Superstore has been family-owned and operated since 1986.
Blue Compass RV added to its expansive portfolio with the acquisition of Brown’s RV Superstore in McBee, S.C., which will be renamed Blue Compass RV Columbia Northeast.
The 31,000-square-foot dealership sits on a 12-acre lot and has 20 enclosed service bays and a variety of new and preowned RVs.
Brown’s RV Superstore has been family-owned and operated since its founding in 1986. It's the only location the Brown family owned, and they're retiring after 40 years. Barry Brown, the founder's son, is staying on as general manager.
Blue Compass RV has more than 100 dealerships across 31 states, and the recent acquisition makes 13 dealerships across the Carolinas.
The group has many accomplishments under its belt, including its Airstream of Tampa location being named the No. 1 Airstream dealer in the world for seven consecutive years. And its flagship Motor Home Specialist location has been the No. 1 overall motor home dealer in the world for 13 consecutive years.
Performance Brokerage Services was the sell-side adviser for the transaction.
