EAA AirVenture Oshkosh 2007 attendees will notice three new retail stores on-site this year as Gander Mountain, OfficeMax, and Wheel & Sprocket have partnered with EAA to offer a wide variety of products to those visiting Oshkosh for the convention.

"These partnerships look to increase value not only to EAA members, but to everyone who attends AirVenture Oshkosh 2007," said Jeff Kaufman, director of business development. "The products offered won’t be marked up in price either. In fact, EAA members will receive a 5 percent discount on all OfficeMax products at the event, and throughout the entire year at all OfficeMax locations."

Located in the Camp Scholler retail area, Gander Mountain will offer everything from cots, tents, cooking equipment, lanterns, toilet paper, ponchos, and lawn chairs from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (July 20-29). Throughout the week, the company will also sponsor the movie 60º North at 500 Feet, showing in the newly renovated SkyScape Theater located in the EAA AirVenture Museum.

OfficeMax will offer office supplies, shipping services, faxing, and copying to all exhibitors and attendees from 7:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. (July 20-29).

Wheel & Sprocket’s Mobile Bike Shop will provide more than 100 different individual services to those using bikes on the grounds of EAA’s Camp Scholler. These services will be available 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. (July 23-29) and include tire changes, wheel replacements, bike rentals, next-day service on most repairs, and a wide selection of quality bikes to purchase for the event.
