Marcus Lemonis, CEO of the Lincolnshire-based Camping World RV chain and Good Sam RV Travel Club, bought Erehwon Mountain Outfitters this month. The Arlington Heights-based outdoor retail shop joins Uncle Dan’s, a small Chicago outdoor chain that Lemonis bought last October. Sources say the acquisitions will help Lemonis market his RVs to the outdoor recreation market.
