Stoltzfus RV’s and Marine of West Chester, Pennsylvania completed its sale to General RV Center, recently announced by its brokerage firm Performance Brokerage Services.

Earl Stoltzfus founded Stoltzfus RV’s and Marine in 1967. In 1978, Stoltzfus relocated the dealership to its current location in West Chester, outside of Philadelphia. This state-of-the-art dealership operates on nearly 17 acres, with facilities totaling approximately 50,000 square feet, and features 23 service bays and 900 solar panels for energy efficiency.

With a commitment to customer satisfaction and a sincere dedication to the team responsible for the dealership's success, in 2007, he sold the company to an ESOP (Employee Ownership Stock Plan). Stolfus served as president for 46 years and held the position of Chairman of the Board. A pioneer in the industry, Earl received the James B. Summers Award in 2015 for his consistent and outstanding contribution to the RV Dealer Association and its dealer body. Earl's stepson, Bob Cox, served as president until the time of the sale.

General RV Center, headquartered in Wixom, Michigan, is a premier, family-owned dealership group founded in 1962 by Abe Baidas. The group started from humble beginnings with a Mobil gas station, which later transformed into a small sales and manufacturing facility. It has since become one of the largest RV dealership groups in the country, employing more than 2,000 team members across locations in Michigan, Ohio, Florida, Utah, Illinois, Pennsylvania and Virginia, with a 150,000 square foot inspection facility in Indiana. The family legacy continues with Abe's son, Robert Baidas acting as Chief Executive Officer and Abe's grandson, Loren Baidas as President.

General RV supports its local community by donating tents to scout groups, working with Make-A-Wish families, and volunteering to clean up local playgrounds and parks. In addition, the Richard Baidas Memorial Scholarship Fund was created in 2006 to provide college scholarships to children and grandchildren of General RV employees. Since the program's inception, more than $1,000,000 of college scholarship funds have been awarded.

Stoltzfus RV's and Marine is renamed General RV Center of West Chester and will remain at its current location at 1335 Wilmington Pike in West Chester, Pennsylvania.
