Tampa Bay RV company boosts its Arizona business

Lazydays acquired Orangewood RV Center of Surprise, Arizona, the Seffner-based RV giant says in a Wednesday news release.

The Arizona store has been renamed Lazydays RV of Phoenix at Arrowhead and marks the 24th location in its growing nationwide network, the RV retail company says, adding to Lazydays' Western region.

The new Arizona store is expected to generate approximately $40 million in annualized revenue, Lazydays says.

Lazydays has been busy in 2023: It completed five acquisitions and opened three "greenfield" locations, which in total are expected to generate more than $300 million in annualized revenue.

In February, Lazydays acquired Findlay RV in Las Vegas, a deal that gave the Tampa-based company a presence in Nevada for the first time and allowed it to complement its operations in Arizona, which now number at three: Arrowhead, Mesa and Tucson.

Earlier this month, Lazydays allied with Bowlus, a maker of luxury recreational trailers, signing an exclusive national partnership with Lazydays and putting the luxury Bowlus vehicles at five Lazydays sites from Denver to Tampa.

The Arizona location will continue to offer inventory from Grand Design, Keystone, KZ and Starcraft.

Tampa-based Lazydays has been a seller in the RV industry since its inception in 1976. In 2021, it surpassed $1 billion in revenue.
