The online gun market is huge and only getting bigger, however you cannot ship guns to just anyone. It requires a licensed FFL dealer. A quick google search of the area(Surprise,Az) will show that the only FFL's to be able to receive these guns are home based. That can be very intimidating and scary going to a random persons house to pick up a firearm.
Az Ammo Depot, owned and operated by Josh Bullis a US Army retiree, is a new startup gun store located in Surprise, Arizona that specializes in online firearm transfers, ammunition sales, accessories, and promoting firearm safety. With extensive experience and unique expertise from his military background, Mr. Bullis is positioned to guide the operations as Az Ammo Depot establishes itself in the market. Though profitability is a priority, the company's focus is on providing exceptional value and ensuring customer satisfaction above all else.
Despite Arizona's 43% gun ownership per household, there is only one local retailer offering ammunition to Surpise's 141,000 residents. Az Ammo Depot aims to fill this void by providing a comprehensive ammunition inventory for multiple market segments including casual hobby shooters, competitive shooters, hunters, and shooting range visitors. We estimate Peoria's addressable ammunition sales market to be approximately $650,000 annually, with room for a new entrant to capture 12-15% market share in the first few years. The company's online transfer services also address the lack of accessible and welcoming firearm dealers in the area.
With a secure retail space, compliant processes, and experienced staff, Az Ammo Depot offers convenience, quality products, and technical guidance to enhance the experience of local firearms enthusiasts. As an early-stage startup, the business is focused on building its brand and establishing its reputation in the community.
The $50,000 will ensure we can open with a full stocked store and all the necessary equipment is in place.
About myself:
Az Ammo Depot is owned and operated by Josh Bullis, a United States Army retiree. Retired in 2011 at 22 years of age due to extensive injuries by an IED while in Afghanistan. As a result I lost both legs and my left arm, leaving me one of only a handful; of triple amputee from the war. Josh will be the owner and decision maker for the business. His extensive military experience gives him unique expertise in firearm and ammunition products and distribution networks to help guide the operations of Az Ammo Depot as it grows.
It will start out a 1,000-1,200 SF store front, worked by Josh Bullis and possible one other employee. However Josh has an ultimate goal of opening many locations. Due to his Army retirement he has more freedom to run a top notch store and not whatever makes the most profit. This also means paying loans back are much easier.
The company is already set in a LLC, Stuff Man LLC.
