Camping World SuperCenter & RV Sales at 6830 Bandley Drive celebrated its soft opening in Fountain on Friday, April 27, but have been open since March 9.
“I’ve been in this business all my life,” explained Regional Vice President Robert Jensen. “We opened the first store in 1969.” He, his three brothers and one sister were all born and raised in the RV business, passed down to them in 1989 by their parents, based in Salt Lake City. “My brother Craig is the president of the company.”
The Jensen siblings Regional VP Scott, Salt Lake Store Manager Steven & Regional Insurance & Finance manger Rebecca are stationed in Salt Lake City.
They are a close family, dedicated to building a thriving business base for camping and RV supplies in Colorado. Robert explained 80,000 people a month are entering the RV demographic as baby-boomers age. What used to be a seasonal business is now year-round. The opportunity to provide not only a direct addition to the Fountain Valley economy, but also by promoting tourism and recreation in the region is a vital economic resource, one the Jensen family hopes to nurture.
