Tom Johnson Among 100 Most Influential

Local Businessman Receives National Honor
Tom Johnson named one of the most influential people in the RV industry

Marion, NC (June 22, 2010) - In honor of the 100th anniversary of the RV industry, RV Business recently released a list of the 100 most influential people in the history of the RV industry. Among the honorees is Tom Johnson, founder of Tom Johnson Camping Center (TJCC), which has locations in Marion and Concord.

RV Business heralds Johnson for the example he has set over the years when it comes to customer service, even back when Johnson was selling RVs from his front yard. According to the publication, the list is comprised of "Inventors, entrepreneurs and visionaries who made lasting contributions to the inception, growth and success of the business of recreation."

"I am truly thankful and humbled to receive such an honor," said Johnson. "To be named as one of the 100 most influential people in the history of our industry is a fantastic accomplishment, but it is really a team effort. This honor wouldn't be possible without such a wonderful staff and, of course, our customers. We have always simply tried to do business the way it is supposed to be done - always putting the customer first."
                                                
Tom Johnson Camping Center regularly receives awards recognizing its excellence in customer service. So far this year, TJCC has earned the prestigious Newmar Customer Satisfaction Index (CSI) Award and the Winnebago Circle of Excellence Award.

Founded in 1967, Tom Johnson Camping Center, conveniently located in Concord and Marion, North Carolina, is the inaugural recipient of the Dave Altman Number One RV Dealer Award.
