Beaudry RV is no longer negotiating with a Florida-based company for that company to buy the local RV dealership.
In June, Beaudry Motor Co. CEO Thomas Sylvester sent a memo to Beaudry employees saying that Beaudry RV had entered into a "letter of intent" with Lazydays RV Center Inc. to purchase the Beaudry RV Tucson operations.
The Beaudry RV dealership is at 3200 E. Irvington Road. The next-door Beaudry RV Resort is at 5151 S. Country Club Road.
At the time, neither Sylvester nor a representative of Lazydays would comment on the memo.
But Sylvester confirmed last week that the deal was mutually called off Aug. 8.
"We couldn't come to agreeable terms. A letter of intent is far from a finished and completed agreement," Sylvester said.
The Beaudry family has owned auto dealerships in the Tucson area since 1940. Company President Bob Beaudry started downsizing the business in 2003 with the sale of six dealerships to the Scottsdale-based Chapman Automotive Group.
